The title says it all.  My old PC that I am using for this thread and other web stuff came with a bundled "data to DVD" application.  My graphics-only machine is running Windows XP Pro 64bit  OS.   It was a clean install with none of that prepackaged fluff.

For HD crash protection, I'm running twin 500g HD using Raid2 and also have a 500g external in case of fatal crash of Raid2. 

I want to save some of my photo image files to data DVD as I could do on the old machine.  Does anyone know a good application for that, freeware preferably.

This old Sony Vaio came with a program called Drag'n Drop to CD DVD.  Launching the program simply puts an icon on desk top that one can drag files from an open window to the icon.  The icon had a fill bar indicator and a simple click box to start the burn process.  Simple, huh? I like simple.  I googled the app and can't find it anywhere.  I even googled the vendor name listed in its help menu.
