Congrats on the transfer Thor....
Your plan to cut a CD and make backups is right on the money... You have just decided to save yourself a lot of potential pain.
At my 'real' job I am responsible for (amongst other things) certain types of data protection.
The cornerstone to this protection is BACKUPS.
I have a pocket full of horror stories from people who had of one-of-a-kind photos such as baby pictures, deceased relative photos and other data being forever lost because a hard drive went down for whatever reason. Viruses, hardware failure, simple error etc all cause irreplaceable digital photographs and other data to be forever lost.
It sounds like you have some very valuable stuff on that HD, and writing the stuff to CD is a great backup scheme for this sort of stuff.
