I use my DVD/RW drive as a hard disk so I can backup, retrieve, and erase data files, quickly and easily. Use "copy" and "drag and drop".
InCd does this just fine - except when it causes problems.
I have read on the Web that InCd is a causer of problems.
From time to time my InCd DVD when it is being accessed will "freeze" my system, and then the disk will become "read only".No data is lost, but I must REBOOT, transfer the info elsewhere, and then reformat it so that it becomes a R/W disk again. I keep my "InCd" updated.

What, if any, are other options to accompish my purpose?

System: XP, 1GB memory 60GB Hard Drive

Thanks
