Re: Back Up My Folders to removeable drive

What you want to do requires "packet writing software", which may have been
included with your CD/DVD burner. Otherwise, you'll have to purchase CD/DVD
burning software (Roxio, Nero, etc.)

However, you should know that packet writing software is not as reliable as
regular optical media burning software. I wouldn't burn anything valuable
with packet writing.
