Not an XP problem, but a limitation of the built-in burning software.
Read what it can and cannot do...

Other burning packages may give you what you seek.
 
So you don't save this information in a directory on your hard drive first?
That's what I do and then I can burn the entire directory to a cd for
backup. I use packet writing software, InCD actually, to use the cd like a
huge floppy disk. Are you saying you have save individual files one at a
time to the cd? There is no reason you can't have two CD-RW drives in your
computer.
