Free CD/DVD burning program?

I got a new computer at work, and it came with a CD burner. We didn’t get any software with it. I’m sure my supervisor has something if I need it, other than the built-in Windows XP CD writing utility. Just for kicks, is CDBurnerXP Pro any good?

Quite good, for basic burning tasks. It has even revived an old burner that W2K could not recognize anymore after SP3 and reacted to with some splendid BSODs.

Cool, thanks Serge. I suppose the built-in Windows XP CD writing utility will be just fine. I used it yesterday at work, and it didn’t give any problems. CDBurnerXP Pro will be in my bookmarks in case someone is looking for a program that doesn’t cost anything.

Look around for Nero 5.5, it’s very lightweight compared to the 6.x release.

Oops. CdBurnerXP Pro is free? Sorry for my foolish recommendation, then!
