Marek, if you can drag and drop files and treat your CD/DVD as if it was a normal drive then it seems to me that you already have a packet-write configuration. I looked back at your earlier posting and I think it implies your operating system is NT. I'll have to defer to others (my knowledge is limited to W98).
