Greetings,

If would want to try something new, use the "Direct CD" of Adaptec.
Usually all you have to do is put a blank CD/RW in your burner and a box
will come up asking what you want to do with it. The one choice is turn
it into a disk that you can use in windows explorer as if it was another
hard disk drive, or least as a big floppy. If you chose that function, a
dialog box will tell you that It takes 60-90 minutes to format the RW
disk. I've never done it with a CD-R, but that would never erase any info
just keep adding to the cd till it was full and anything that you would
'erase" would really be on it, you just wouldn't have acces to it, that's
why I use the CD/RW

Interestingly I did this and then went to copy some of the stuff on my
laptop (it has a DVD/CD player) and I got a message on the laptop that I
needed to install some file from adaptec so that CD/RW's could be read on
this cdrom, I said ok and it installed it. Cool!

You just use Windows explorer to through things on the disk, what a great
way to back things up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....... I know that the life expectancy of CD/RW's isn't
as great as CD-R's, etc....... 

Yeah, yeah, yeah.....  I know that it only writes at about 2X on a
CD/RW....... 

It's still a great way to back up stuff.
