    I would recommend Nero

    Can be purchased off Amazon for £39.96 for Version 9 or the older version at £24.99
    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun ;)

    Although most burners come with Nero, Roxio's Easy Media Creator is easier to use and sounds like the program you are used to.

    You should be able to pick one up from ebay for a reasonable price. If you're running Vista make sure you get version 9 or above. If you're running XP pretty much any version will do.

    Version 6 would be fine for what you want, I use version 7 on my XP system and version 9 on my Vista one. I actually find version 7 more user friendly.

    Why not give the free XP Burner a try first and if it does not suit you then you could buy Roxio.

    +1 for CDBurner XP, will cope with most things and it's FREE.

    It does however require MS.NET framework to be downloaded, but you do get a prompt and link if you do not already have it.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    imgburn for disc images, cdburnerxp for compiling discs and burning them.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    weegie.geek Snap, I've never had an image burn not succeed with imgburn, unlike some others that claim to burn .iso images.
    Move along, nothing to see.
