Are you using XP's own built in software for this or a specific package?. .I am, so far, using ROXIO 5.1 reasonably successfully with XP although I have had problems reading and writing to CD-R's set up using DIRECTCD from an earlier version (ver3.0 I think). I believe there are some versions of ROXIO that cause problems with XP.
