Hi,
I have very little information on my hard drives < 3gigs; and I'm wondering if there's a way of using my CD/DVD writer to make backup copies. I'm interested in doing this for windows ME, NT, 2000, and 98SE.

You will need to use the DVD burning program that comes with your DVD burner. Run it from 2000 [would be better to have xp for the drivers] so you can backup ntfs drives which you can't from 9x/me
Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

Hi wanderer,
I have Nero 5.5. It has several options, but I'm not sure which will work. Are you familar with Nero?
