Amen, brother! Preach it! Shout it to the heavens!
No, I am _not_ being sarcastic. I want to encourage you in the
strongest way I can concieve: you are telling the truth.

Paul & Group -
This is an old problem dating back to win 95 days - all I can suggest
is connecting a USB drive or have you tried that already Paul ? Was
there ever a 64 - bit version of XP ? If so the code may be better.
I still set up the odd linux installation for relatives etc & have
pretty well retired from windoze troubleshooting.

I only use my Windows computer for one or two programs.
I understand Vista is worse. Consequently I refuse to buy Vista.
XP will not burn a DVD anyway and I don't think the DVD drive
in my notebook will burn DVD's if I had an XP program that could do it.
I am thinking of getting a external DVD burner as I need backups.
Backups on CD's are too tedious.
UNIX/Linux was multi-user multi-tasking from the get go
back in 1972. My 3 year old Linux Fedora 5 does a great job of burning DVD's.
No telling what Fedora 8 or Ubuntu will do.
I am thinking of buying a Dell notebook with Ubuntu pre installed.
