I never have figured out the xp version of CD burning ..
I downloaded a program called Ashampoo burning studio 6 {you can get trial pgms of newer versions - but i found the 6 that was free.

I tried a few other burning programs and this one was about the easiest to use - does CDs, DVDs, back ups etc.
Or maybe someone can tell us both how the windows XP burning works LOL
