Why Administraor Permission required to access CD drive?
I want to copy/back up my Excel (church stuff) or Word documents to a CD
instead of the 3.5 " floppy diskettes. I have XP Home edition Ver 5.1. The system will not permit me to do so. No trouble to copy or back into the A Drive on 3.5" diskettes. However, I want to take advantasge of the larger capacity of a CD. My CD Drive is drive "E" I am the only user on my PC and have never set up an Administrator account to my knowledge. When I installed Windows XP, I believe I just allowed everything to install on the MS defaults. Can anyone help this 69 year old to get my seven year old Dell PC to accept copying data via the CD drive? Thanks, Gene Q |

Why Administraor Permission required to access CD drive?
The Windows backup program will not allow any kind of a backup to a CD
drive - only floppies or a harddrive. What you do is backup to a separate partition or hard drive and then copy everything to a CD.
