I sold my old ZipCD 650 USB drive to a friend - but he seems to need to get some "Hotburn" software (which I never got with the original drive as I had used it with Windows 2000 Pro only).

Any ideas as to an XP solution - without needing to buy the hotburn add-on software?

Abandon ZIP drives, they are obsolete. Buy an external hard
drive, or a flash drive. You can get a flash card reader
and use CF cards or the common thumb drives. Faster, more
capacity and less money.

He's talking about a cd burner. Apparently an older one. The 650 was the
size of cd disks then. I never used it but I think hotburn is just burner
software. It isn't free but you can find several free program if you search.
Maybe cdburnerxp,

would work for your friend.

It's just an ordinary USB CDRW, any burning software will be just fine.
