XP Backup Data

[Peter]

I select Control Panel - Performance and Maintenance - Back up your data -
Backup or Restore Wizard or Advanced Mode.



Neither lets me back up to my CD / DVD re-writable drive G:\



The error message:



The Backup file name could not be used

G:\Backup.bkf



Please ensure that it is a valid path and you have sufficient access.



Changing the file name just gives the same. What can I do to enable Backup
to CD or DVD.



Thanks
