No CD-DVD Writing Software in my new Dell 9100, What to get?

Jun 26, 2005 7:27AM PDT

You know how when you want to burn a file or folder into a CD you right click on the item and send it to the CDRW-DVD? Well, I can not manage to set my CD/DVD Burner to give me that option in the right-click menu. I think there is no software preinstalled in my Dell Inspiron 9100 like Roxio or any other. What do you recommend? What CD/DVD Writing Software should I get.

CDRW as a drive letter is not 100% reliable, but you can record on CDR/W with the free and available CDBURNERXP.
