Neither my CD ROM DVD drive (D:) or my CD R/ CD/RW burner (E:) will now recognize previously formatted data disks and do not recognize any CD in either drive.  Nor does my CD burner give me the format option.  My primary goal is to creative a simple and quick backup to CD/RWs and CD/Rs.  I had been using Roxio but found it unwelildy so uninstalled Roxio.  I then planned to use XP's MS Backup until I realized it wouldn't accept CDs.  I then downloaded SyncBack software (shareware) as well as HP/Sonic DLA files so I could format the discs in UPD.  I preume my problem is basically with XP but am stumped - tried ebery knowledge base I could think of.  Hope someone can assist.  Thnx,
