I want to do a complete backup to CD using my E drive. The backup function in Windows XP Home only offers backup to floppy in the A drive. Can anyone tell me how to do a backup to CD? You can e-mail if you prefer. Thanks
 
The backup utility for XP doesn't support CD Drives. You can either back up
to a file and then burn this to a CD using your burning software, or else
use third party backup software.

NTBACKUP can not back-up directly to CD.
You can back-up tom another location on the hard drive and copy to CD.
Or you can use a 3rd party application if you want to back-up directly
to CD.
