> One caveat regardless of what you do: do NOT install two different CD burning packages at the same time on one machine.

Are sure that that is a problem anymore? They all say they won't interefere with other burner software nowadays, and I have three in my computer right now with no problems.

Of course, I only ever actually use Nero. CDRWin comes in handy every now and then, and the EZ CD Creator that came with this burner sits there and takes up HD space.
