i can't figure out why the program won't let me make a
backup to a writable cd. any help/advice?
 
XP's backup will not back to a CD. You can back to a file and copy to a CD
though.

Hi,

'Cause it wasn't designed for it. You will need to use a different backup
medium (tape drive, extra hard drive, network storage), or a different
backup program. If you map the drive as a network drive, you can do this if
there is packet-writing software installed (the native buring program won't
support it), but you still can't span disks.
