I have ECDC5 Platinum with the 5.1 update and the 5.1 drive update installed. My system crashes when trying to use ECDC data option with a cdrw. I tried backing up the i386 folder XP Home edition folder onto a cdrw on a new Compaq 725US Athlon 1600 1.4ghz laptop and it crashes after copying the files to a temp folder. I have to hold down the power button in order to reboot since cntrl+alt+del doesn't work. Has anyone else had this problem?? The laptop didn't come with a backup copy of XP, only recovery cds and application recovery cds. The i386 folder is the only backup on the harddrive and I wanted to backup that up onto cdrw or cdr.

Specs for laptop:
Athlon 1.4ghz
256mb ddr
20gb harddrive
8x dvdrom/4x4x24 cdburner
16mb S3 card
