Default backup won't

win xp pro,
"How to Back Up Files and Folders
Note You must have permissions as an administrator or as a backup
operator on your computer to back up files and folders. Also, backup
operators and administrators can back up and restore encrypted files and
folders without decrypting the files or folders.

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point
to System Tools, and then click Backup. The Backup or Restore Wizard starts.
2. Click Advanced Mode.
3. Click the Backup tab.
4. On the Job menu, click New.
5. Click to select the check boxes for the drives that you want to
back up. If you want to be more specific in your selections, expand the
drive that you want, and then click to select the check boxes for the
files or folders that you want.
6. Click to select the System State check box.

Note If you want to back up your system settings and your data
files, back up all the data on your computer plus the System State data.
The System State data includes such things as the registry, the COM+
class registration database, files under Windows File Protection, and
boot files.
7. In the Backup destination list, click the backup destination that
you want to use."

NOW IT IS STUCK: it only let's me select a floppy drive (too small!)
and if I select the CD R on the D: drive it says
D:\mybackup04.bdf ... "COULD NOT BE USED"

!@#$!

NOW WHAT?

CD-R disks cannot be used as a floppy or disk. You need the burning
software to write to them.

CD-RW disks can be used if you format them first.
