I use a program called INCD and after this program formats the cd, It acts
like a hard drive. I leave it in the drive and load/unload files etc just
like a hard drive. I believe i got this on "CNET" and it was free.

XP's built in burning engine does not use packet writing to preformat CDs so
they can be written to from applications. For example you cannot Save a
document you are working on in Notepad or Microsoft Word, etc. directly to a
CD. You must save the file to your hard drive first and then copy the file
to the CD from Explorer. However packetwriting software like InCD from
www.nero.com or Drag To Disk (formerly called Direct CD) from www.roxio.com
are programs which initially format a CD-R/W disk so that it will behave
like a formatted hard drive or floppy. Then you can save directly to that
disk from within an application. I use a work around that can trick XP's
software into burning directly to CD-R or CD-R/W without having to use
packet writing software. You can find that work-around here
