HD DVD is Dead??????
Does anyone know of a utility that allows you to use your CD-RW drive as another HD on your system allowing you to drag/drop file onto explorer?

In fact, because of DVD I'd expect systems to stay large for a while. While I could easily copy the contents of a CD onto my hard drive for my subnotebooks Odds are I'll stick with my 505 until the fall, when I believe the 240 will be easier to find, and the C1X will experience a price drop (October is likely).
