Since you want to backup to CD buy a 3rd party imaging program. I use TrueImage from www.acronis.com. Why? you ask, because (see this link) Windows Backup Does Not Back Up to CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R Devices http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315255 that's why. HTH

You have to create a folder on your hard drive then burn,
but the XP burn program will NOT span cd's. You can do sub-
folders and small backups, do data and system state on
diffrent cd's
