You cd writer must support 900mb CDs, if you don't have one in hand, then
you have no other option but shop for a new unit.  As fas as I aware, 900mb
CD and writers are less popular, so shop carefully.

DVD writers are getting cheaper and popular, if you are serious on large
data backup (other than use a type drive) on one disc, DVD is the way to go.
there are currently two standard DVD - R or DVD + R, they are not compatible
with each other, so if you get a DVD-R writer, you can only use DVD-R black
disc.
