Keep trying, Lee-a-Roady Moor
It should be possible to do what you are trying to do. And yes, you do have to avoid losing files by over-writing them with newer ones of the same name. And I too use folders and sub-folders to help with this before I've had a chance to edit and re-name the files from a busy photo call.
Same like floppies only much, much bigger (and therefore slower).
[Much later] As a matter of interest, are you using the XP native RW method or are you using a 3rd-party system such as Roxio Direct CD or Nero's RW system? XP's RW system is write-incompatible with the others. RW CDs formatted using Roxio cannot be written to by the XP RW system. But I imagine that they can all read each other.
Personally, as I move around different levels of Windows, I stick to Roxio RW.
