O.K., so I buy and install a CD-DVD creator, then, when I
run the Backup Utility or the Files and Setting Transfer
Wizard, (BTW, which is the best one to use?), the
computer will allow me to use a CR-RW. I won't get a "!"
box from the Backup utility that says, "The backup file
name could not be used. "F:\Backup.bkf" Please ensure it
is a valid path, and that you have sufficient access.",
or a box from the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that
says, "The disk is corrupted, or there is no disk in the
drive. Please insert a valid disk." Right?
I tell you, I'd really like to find the people who writes
these programs and beat their heads into the ground for
making them so impossible to use. Ha Ha. Please assure
me that this will work before I go out and spend money
that I shouldn't have to if these programs worked the way
they ought to. And yes, my F (CD) drive should be a
valid path, yes, I do have administrator access which
should be "sufficient access", no, the disk is not
corrupted, and, yes, there is a valid disk in the
drive!!!!!!
BTW, I can't thank you enough for all your help. Thank
you!

I haven't used the Microsoft backup utility for about 2
years now. When I was
using it I was able to backup to CD's. The trick is, you
need 3rd party
software (such as Roxio CD-DVD Creator) that installs
packet writing
software along with the main program. This allows your
computer to write to
the CD's as if they were a hard drive.
Get the software and start burning your backups (-:
