And I agree with Infamuz. Use Nero damnit!

You guys and this damn nero cd.... Roxio is just fine. It looks like gmilian didn't follow the instructions on the website.
Gmilian- if you have a dell, restart and when the dell screen appears hit the f2 key. Go into the bios screen and bootdisk startup change to you cd rom that you are using. Thow in the windows xp cd, restart your pc and follow the instructions. Install the two files i told you about in a previous thread for roxio, and then install roxio. Roxio should not have a problem....Actually i am burning a cd as I speak

Roxio 5 works great for me in XP. I thought Nero's burning engine was a little slow compared to Roxio. If you do all the proper updates, Easy CD 5 will be the best option. With the XP update, you will loose the "Take Two" function which I never used anyway.
