    You dont need any software to burn disks in windows xp

    Not sure about free software, but nero costs less than £5

    If I remember correctly, Right click on the item you want to burn and choose send to then select CD drive and send it, you should get a message in the tray (bottom right) saying you have files ready to burn!! not sure about that bit.
    Give it a try can't check because I am not at home. (this pc is windows 2000)

  • DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink could be worth a "google".

    Then go to my computer and double click on the cd drive, the files should show up and there should be bit of the left that says write these to cd
