Hi David,
Here are some thoughts...

1. writing to CD-R/RW is problematic.

Dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer, i.e., treating the drive
like any other removable media (which was possible in previous
versions of Windows).
Absolutely.

Image file means one of two things:

Well, then, you're agreeing with me that it is impossible to do this
with standard Windows XP -- you need add-on software.
Correct.
What would you suggest for backup, both method and medium?
A CD Creator

Exactly. I think the person who originally said it was full of it. Just
because they see all the problems, doesn't mean that everything is
problematic. Whatever. I've yet to have any issues with CD/DVD drives

Look, thats all well and nice, but I still stand by what I said. I don't

You can talk the tech talk, but who cares? So what if you do it for a

Thanks, David.
I know they were not new, and I know that I got them to work in 2k2 or
