Question Freeware burning software

Hi,
Is there any freeware or shareware burning software that doesn't cost too much? My friend was given a Plextor burner and there was no software for it. She has windows 98 se.
TIA

Nero will give you a fully functional 30 day trial.

The plextor drives came with EZ-CD OEM, and any copy of it willl work on this drive. So fish around to see if someone has a copy of it that you can borrow.

Thanks not important, I'll tell her about it. If it's not too expensive she'd buy it afterword, but I think she already ruled it out as being too expensive at NewEgg, but maybe it's cheaper on-line. I saw Real Player had some kind of burner software on the free Real One Player, does anyone know how good that is?

I have a copy of Sony CDExtreme, free software, but no current download site. I also have the update for it.
Email or PM me, and I'll see that you get a copy somewhere.

The Nero OEM may or may not work with that burner - you would be taking a chance.

Padus Diskjuggler - Almost fully functional demo version, but it limits you to slow burning (not an issue for me).

I've found it to be excellent, and less hassle than Nero that expires.
