I wanted to use my internal CD recorder to back up my hard drive. When I
use the Backup software that comes with windows 98, it looks at the CDR
drive and tells me the media is write protected (when it isn't).
I'd like to do HD backup without having to buy more software if possible.
Anyone know of a way around what the BU software is telling me?
John
