back up useing win XP

I use the software for my cdrw called ROXIO. It has a backup utility as part of the package and works well.

Hi, as you have probably figured out, "Backup" under winXP doesn't support backing up directly to a CDRW. You can backup to a file first, though, and then copy that file to a CDRW. The only two problems:1) you need enough free disk space to hold your backups; and 2) is that the backup file must be small enough to fit on a single CD, or you must plan it out in (max) 650 MB sets. The convenience of not worrying about these 2 problems is what you get by buying one of the third-party products (like Roxio Easy CD Creator 5, etc.).
good luck --- Will

sorry roxio wasn't the answer but sometimes it is easier to use a software made for the purpose instead of software that is not designed for that purpose
sorry
