Default CD burning program ...help

So. I got my computer upgraded to Win XP and i need a new CD writing program. I had Adaptec CD writer from years ago before i lost it. I still have it, but i don't know if it's still good. I'd appreciate it if somebody recommended a good reliable burning program...preferrably a free software.

Win XP
933Mhz
128mb ram
4x writer

...yes, very old.


if you can help, thank you very much

A decent free burning program for XP:

For general stuff, it works reasonably well. Too bad Nero isn't exactly free, it's pretty much the best one out there.

Yeah, Nero is the the best, Alcohol 120% is good too. But if your lookinf for a freeware peoduct then I suggest 'Burn for free'. You can downoad it from here:

alcohol is great but only to burn images and make CD copies of protected CD's and also to mount images to it as it installs a virtual drive.

Nero is to make cd's the way you want to make them, drag n drop.

Now about the Nero 7... someone know's if its crap?
