Yes it's possible. Typically cd burning software has trouble with longer
paths and will truncate the file names. However when this happens the
software usually gives you a warning message and asks if that is what you
want to do.

You didn't mention what program you're using to create these CDs. If using
the builtin features of XP, see the following article for an overview of
the process and some troubleshooting procedures for various problems:
