Why won't operating system let me format CD in my Iomega
CD R/W drive, and address drive letter directly from
Quicken for backup-writes?

Start/My Computer/rightclick your CD-ROM drive/if no
Click to expand...
option is given for Format then you have a CD-R with data
on it in the drive. You can only format new/unused CD-Rs
but you can format CD-RWs many times.
 
Because XP cd burning abilities do not extend that far.. you need to install
a 'packet writing' program.. Nero's InCD could be a candidate..

Try the newsgroup x.x.financial.quicken. This is a
Quicken thing.
 
Will refrain commentary about Iomega. You need software and cooperating
CDRW to accomodate your needs. The CD must be a re-writable type. You must
use UDF format on the re-writable to write directly to the CD from an
application. Whether or not its Quicken or any other application is of no
consequence.

In my case, I use Ahead Software's INCD for UDF. Check www.ahead.de or
www.nero.com for details. While there, look into Nero burning software in
which INCD is free. Don't confuse the free read-only version of INCD at the
site, you can't write with it. Not sure if this will work with Iomega
products.
