cd burning in dos

I have a major problem with my Windows XP machine, and I have a couple of gigs of extrememly critical, irreplacable data that I need to back up so I can reformat & reinstall. I can't boot into Windows, only the DOS-like command prompt. Is there any CD burning software that will run at this prompt? Is there even a DOS program, and can the XP command interpreter emulate it?
As you realise there is no DOS in XP and the only DOS burning software is 16bit, also DOS without help does not read FAT32/NTFS5.

Norton's Ghost can burn to a CD from the A prompt. It uses it's own booting system.

Drive Image will also do it. But Drive Image and Ghost save the complete drive (partition).So if you have a very large drive, you will need a bunch of CDs. Both programs compress the data, so that helps a little.
