Martin, one clarification to your comment. If you use DirectCD in the way
that you describe, the CDR can still be read by other PCs that don't have
DirectCD *IF* the option is selected to "close-out" the CD to make it
readable by other PCs when you eject the CD (and at the same time you can
retain the option to subsequently "open" it up again to write more to it
using DirectCD, although each time you close and re-open the CD in this way
a portion of the space on the CDR is used up).

Marek, related to this, dayvah49 mentioned that Nero and DirectCD tend to
conflict with one another. Your problem might be resolved if you uninstall
one of them ... although the fact that you are able to drag-and-drop files
onto your CDR does not suggest that you have an active conflict problem in
that way, although maybe xxcopy uses a slightly different internal process
that runs into the conflict potential.
