A CD is not a giant floppy disk, there is software that will allow one to treat it 
as though it were. The two that I know of are Roxio's Direct CD and Nero's InCD. 
As I understand it InCD is almost as unreliable as Direct CD. Direct CD is awful. 
The XP built-in software does not have that kind of capability.
