If everything is compatible, windows will automatically make the cd 'open session' read/write (i think the terminology is correct) and burn everything on-the-fly. Using the above method I have yet to burn a coaster. Perhaps it will work for you too. -Radulf On Monday, July 8, 2002 at 7:04 am, AOM wrote: >I have a question about How >do I use the built-in CD burning in Windows XP?: > >I recently bought a new PC with WinXP.
