It’s already Wednesday and I just noticed that I haven’t posted anything all week. I better make this one count.

I have helped a number of people do basic reformats lately and often they have old copies of Roxio EZ CD Creator. Any version older than 6.0 can cause some serious problems with Windows XP and AVG antivirus.

If you would like to create music or data CDs or  data DVDs, CDBurnerXP is a free program that will let you do almost everything that the expensive programs from Roxio and Nero will let you do. I have been using it quite a bit and I have been pretty impressed with it so far.

The one feature it doesn’t have is the ability to copy CDs of any kind.

Other free CD burning and DVD burning software packages that allow you to burn cd’s or dvd’s include:

• ImgBurn
• Express Burn
• StarBurn (thanks to Max and Ichiro below)
