Cannot Back Up to External CD-RW

[Guest]

When trying to select my external cdrw (drive E the back up progrsm does
not regonize it as a back up media.
I can use it anywhere else.
Does anybody know what I need to do?

Windows Backup does NOT back up to CD/CDRW, but it can backup to a hard
drive.. the resulting file can then be burned to a CD..
