WE have DirectCD on our 98's and recenly bought an XP machine. The version's of DirectCD (Adaptec) prior to Easy CD Creator 5.0 are not XP compatible. Having read all the horror stories of people trying to put Easy CD Creator 5.0 on an XP machine.We are going to wait for Roxio to get it house in order so to speak. I am not willing to pay $99.00 for software and then be afraid of it. We loved the DirectCD drag and drop feature on our 98's. Does any company make Drag-n-Drop software for XP Yet. We would like to be able to save directly to the CD-RW's

It looks like Nero does drag and drop for MP# music files. Adaptec direct cd would allow you to save straight to the CD-RW as if it was a floppy. You could save a document to it from Word for example. There were no extra steps needed.

Windows XP comes with a stripped down version of Direct CD. All you need to do, is install the updates.

Direct CD primarily formats the CD-RW disk, and handles the writing process.

You do your drop and drag from any file manager.

I am using Easy CD 5 on my XP system with no problems.

What you need to do, is download and install the 2 updates from Roxio's web site, after installing the update from Microsoft.

You are also suppossed to be able to download a trial copy of version 5.1 of the OEM version.

Looks as if the only way I am going to know for sure is to try try out Easy CD 5.
