I have run into a similar issue with Q07 and Roxio Drag-and-Drop. In the
past, I have simply backed up to a CD-RW (R:) with no problems (I also
back up to the hard drive which in turn is backed up to DVD at times.)
Now it tells me it cannot write to it. I had no problem simply copying,
using plain old Windows Explorer, from the backup copy on the hard drive
to the CD-RW.
