Backup Wizard Problem

[JetsFanNY]

When I use the backup wizard in Windows XP Home to backup
my files, the only drives it gives me the option of
backing up my data to are my floppy drive A and my zip
drive D. I have a CD RW drive F but it doesn't list that
drive as an option in the drop down menu nor will it let
me browse to that drive and do a backup. I have
downloaded the latest drivers for my F drive. Any ideas
on how I can back up to the CD RW drive? I think it
would be easier since the CD can hold up to 750MB each
but the zip disks hold only 250MB each.

It appears that a backup to a cdrw is not possible. See:

If there is any way I would sure appreciate knowing how?

Many thnaks. Very clear answer. I hope future Windows
allow backup to larger, faster storage devices.
