I wanted to copy 2 items to a cd. Before copying them, I deleted the source
files. Now I'm unable to copy anthing to a cd nor can I remove the 2 items
from the list ready to be copied.

Clean up the Temp and try again, what you use to Copy or write this Files to
your CD and is it the first time or you done it before.
I mean do you have a software burner to copy/burn these files on the CD and
the CD is Rewritable.

Go to: X(system drive):\Documents and Settings\User_account\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning
and delete the files from the CD Burning folder. Make folders viewable
in Tools\Folder Options\View

Sorry, you cannot just copy to a CD like you can to a hard drive or a USB memory
stick. There are two ways to do it and both require a program like Nero or Roxio
to do it. With either program you can copy a bulk of data to a CD or a DVD and
that is the normal way to do it.

If you only have small items to store frequently you can copy those to CD and
keep copying day after day until the CD is full. However you need a part of the
program which on Roxio is called 'Drag to Disk' and on Nero, I think is called
'InCD'. These are not compatible so if you have used to format with one, as you
need to do, then you must keep using that one for writing. If you have a CD/RW
then you can also delete with that program.

A memory stick I have has room for 2 GB of storage and if you get one of those
or even a 500Mb you can reasonably safely use one of those. That makes copying a
lot easier.
