Prior to my CRASH OF '06 I had a Roxio CD burner on my computer.

Now? It appears to be gone.
I cannot find the CD I might have used to install.

I'd sure like to find a FREE CD burner. Don't need/want DVD burner, lots of bells and whistles, etc.

Any suggestions, anyone?

thanx

I have a Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum disc from one of my old computers that you can have. Email me your snail mail address and I'll be glad to send it to you.

First off, I would goto the Roxio website to find drivers there. Usually, though mainstream burning software, will have sufficient drivers to run it on its own.

As for burners, I would re-consider getting and get a dvd burner. Most will burn cd's, they cost almost the same (maybe a little more $20), and they are very good for backing up data or even mirroring a hard drive.

But if you are resigned to just going the CD-burner route, some good names include Plextor, Ricoh, and Sony. I personally have a TDK - burns CD-rs at 48x - I loaded a CD full of MP3s and burned it in just a few minutes...it is FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

I just found this freeware prog that seems pretty decent. Take a look here (http://nch.com.au/burn/index.html). It's called Express Burn.
