3.48 Megabytes? Maybe there are files stuck in the temp folder that the
writing wizard uses, unhide your files and folders and see if anything is in

The location of this folder is something similar to
C:\Documents and settings\your computer name\CD burning

Also if you are trying to packet write XP will not do this you need
something like InCD
.
