I have Direct CD and Easy CD creator from Adaptec V4.5 or so. This program works fine so when Roxio, who bought the rights to these programs offered me the new Roxio version, I took it and it destroyed the Direct CD possibilities. Since I use this Direct CD feature as a drag and drop for my backups and as a 750 meg hard drive, I feel that this new Roxio porogram is a no-no for those who have the old Adaptec one.Since I have only tried it once, I have to say, use caution and have a good backup handy.
