    Windows XP and Cd Rw

    Now if one wants to use there CD writeable drive for backing up programs, does XP have a program installed to format CDs or do you have to go through a third party program like CD creator. The drive is recognizing the Disks I am putting in, but can't get Quicken to write to the cd drive? Thanks for any info on this matter.

    I don't believe that Quicken will write directly to the CD. I'm pretty sure you have to backup the data to hard disk and then burn it from there.

    Are you saying that you want to back up Quicken's data files to the cd drive? If you want to do it from within Quicken, you need to have packet-writing software (inCD or DirectCD) installed. This makes windows treat the CD as another disk drive and you can save directly to it. I know that many have had problems with this software, but I have been using inCD for some time without incident. Otherwise, if you want to use XP's built-in CD burning, you would need to manually select the files to back up.
