Suppose, for laughs, that I can see the contents of the C drive. I don't suppose it is possible to burn a dvd from the command line prompt, is it? Or, as a last resort*, how would I go about transferring files to the USB port via command line.

* I would hate to have to go this route, as I only have a 512MB USB drive and about 10 gigs of files to backup, but I suppose it isn't insurmountable, if it is possible.
