If you have XP and dont have a copy of a CD/DVD burning software then this is how to use the in built facility in XP You will however still need the CD\DVD (Hardware) burner support.microsoft.com/kb/306524 |

Its Combo 52x That means its a CD Burner and DVD Rom In Laymans terms it will only Burn CDs for you not DVD Im assuming you have no CD burning software so at the link below you can download some decent freebies www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/gmm/fwcdburn.htmlInstall one of these and the whole process will be a lot easier. Id suggest CDBurnerXP as most of the reviews seem to be positive. The other option is the in built XP option which i posted earlier.

Its not free but there are ways around that on various torrent sites  If its films you are looking to burn onto cd then you are gonna struggle as most films are over 700MB  |
