Can I write using a USB burner without Installing ANY software onthe machine??
A USB CD burner sounded like a good idea until I tried to use one.
The attraction of USB is that I can just plug it in to ANY computer that has a USB port. The problem is that I can't just burn a CD. I have to INSTALL a bunch of software that may or may not overwrite existing windows files/drivers. It mucks with the registry. It may or may not break other software. It usually installs stuff that always runs in the background (InCD). It may be difficult/impossible to remove. "Excuse me sir, may I trash your computer trying to burn a cd?" So, what I want is a way to burn a CD without INSTALLING ANY software. I'm not opposed to COPYING a large number of files to a single directory tree as long as the program can run without mucking up the registry or ANY other files on the system...and can be deleted when done leaving no side effects. I don't need any other integration with windows, no shortcuts, no drag/drop. Don't need packet writing. Just run the program and use it to create the compilation for the CD to be burned. Needs to work with Windows 98SE. Would be nice if it worked in DOS. Gotta be freeware or part of Nero 5. Windows XP is NOT an option. thanks, mike -- Return address is VALID.
