Ask 10 people which burning software they recommend, and you are bound to get different
suggestions. One thing that is certain, many would agree not to use the native Windows XP
burning. Personally I like the latest versions of Nero. For newbies there are the Nero
Smart Start and Nero Express modules, which are very user friendly for those not
technically inclined, and who want to be up and burning in a few minutes via point and
click. Then there's the Nero Burning ROM module interface for power users. I have never
had any problems burning CDRs with Nero 6.* Ultra Edition. As for the Nero InCD module
for CD-RWs, it is about as dependable as most other CD-RW burning. In other words, if the
data is really important, I would opt to burn it to a CDR disk, not a CD-RW disk.
