Open Windows Explorer and right click the CD-R drive. Select
Properties/Recording tab. Make sure that the Enable CD Recording box is
checked.

In Windows Explorer, drag the files you want to record to a CD and drop them
on the CD-R drive. Click the CD-R drive and you will see these files
displayed there. Select File/Write these files to CD. The CD Recording
Wizard will start. Follow the instructions there.

Roxio CD Creator works well with XP. Make sure you get the latest, XP
compatible version.

Old versions of Roxio software do not work.. however
install them ne way and then download the patches from
Roxios webiste for an ez fix. Click through warnings and
error messages. I just did this 5 minutes ago and it
works now.

Hello!
Yes!XP can burn CD.
XP has built-in, easy-to-use, CD-Recordable (CD-R) disc
burning support for most CD writers. Before you use the
feature, you should check your CD burning options:

1]Start Windows Explorer (Win + E).
2]Right-click your CD-R drive and select Properties.
3]Select the Recording tab (if this tab isn't available,
your device doesn't support CD burning).
4]You can then set the following options:
*Whether to enable CD recording
*The drive to hold the staging files (before the system
burns a CD-R disc, the system writes the files to be
recorded to an intermediary area known as the staging
area-this area must have enough free space to hold an
entire CD's content)
*The CD recording speed
*Whether to eject the media after recording
5]Set your options and click OK.

Then, to use the CD burning feature, perform the following
steps:

a.Insert a blank CD-R disc into your CD burner (you don't
need the blank CD-R disc until step 4, but it's a good idea
to insert it when you begin).
b.Drag the appropriate files/folders to the CD-R drive, or
select the files/folders and from the context menu, select
Send To, Writable CD.
c.After you copy all the files, select the CD-R drive and
you'll see the waiting files as "Files to add to the CD."
d.Right-click the CD-R drive, and select Write to CD (if
this option isn't available, you don't have a blank CD-R
disc in the drive).
e.Enter a name for the CD-R disc, and click Next.
f.The system will write the files to the CD-R disc.
g.After the system writes all the files, it will eject the
CD-R disc (if you chose that option above).
h.Click Finish.
Yes Roxio's software work well in XP (with updates)
