Answer 1

Use Windows XP Backup program to backup your files on CD-RWs.

All versions of Windows include backup programs—but they do not always install themselves by default (XP Home, for example).

To install the Windows backup program: Put the original installation disk in your CD drive and navigate to the folder called /Valueadd/msft/ntbackup.

You will see a file entitled ntbackup.msi. Double-click this file and it will install the free backup program. The free backup program will then appear in the Systems Tools folder (click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Backup). You can now put (backup) the data on another computer, another hard drive, a CD.

There are other programs that will backup to CDs. The software that came with the CD drive should allow you to backup to CDs. If not, here are a few other programs to consider:
Roxio CD-Creator:http://www.roxio.com
Backup to CD-RW:http://www.willowsoft.com/backup/index.html

Answer 2

Do you want to back up your data files? Windows XP has a backup program, but it does not load by default. Put your Windows CD in the drive but don't let it autoload. Choose accessories II think), then load backup. It's been a couple of years since I loaded mine, but it comes straight from your Windows CD.
