If you are using the built-in Windows Backup tool, then it doesn't recognise
CDs as valid backup media. You have to backup to a folder or another drive
and then burn to a CD in a separate operation.

caus you have not done a lick of research on this....
XP will not backup to a removable drive......first make the
backup...then....copy that file to CD's or DVD(s)....
