XP home can't write to DVDs... you need a 3rd-party app for that.
And to drag-and-drop with that app, it will need to have InCD
installed as well.
Ken Blake said:Just to clarify that last sentence, InCD is only one of several
third-pary programs that add this functionality. He doesn't have to
have *that* one.
Know any free ones??
Ken Blake said:Nope. I don't even want to use the feature myself. I own and use Nero,
but I don't use InCD, which comes with it.

M.I.5¾ said:Roxio Drag-to-disk is far better, because it supports DVD-R and DVD+R as
well. It can also format RW disks on the fly if the drive supports it (most
don't though). InCD is a relatively crippled product.
PD43 said:I stopped using Roxio before Roxio bought it. I rarely burn anything
to CD anymore and have yet to burn anything to DVD.
I have too many other ways to save stuff (3 hard drives in addition to
my system drive) and use a flash drive to move things from one
computer to another.
M.I.5¾ said:Then, with respect, you're hardly an authority on the subject. I burn all
manner of things to CD and DVD, mainly for archive purposes, but also
standard and high definition video.
PD43 said:I am when it comes to making/keeping backups. Never said I was one
when it came to using all the various ways to burn to CD or DVD. Don't
need to do much of that anymore other than to burn backup copies of
new software, and some occasional permanent archiving.
M.I.5¾ said:Then good for you. Although good practice (I frequently champion such a
practice), it is of little relevance to the thread.
