Exactly how are trying to do this? This doesn't sound like it's an SP2 issue
at all.

First of all, Windows XP (with or without SP2) has no ability to write to a
DVD at all. Third-party software is required to do this.

Second, Windows XP (with or without SP2) has no ability to write to a CD as
if it were a giant floppy. You can only write to it using the Windows
CD-burning program. Again, third-party software (called packet-writing
software) is required for this capability.

I'm not the one with the problem. Why are you replying to my message saying
the same thing I said?
