well there is a linux live CD called "Knoppix" , download iso image from net
and burn it .
boot from this cd and after it finished booting , simply click on windows
partition icon on its desktop. it will mount your ntfs partition
automatically.
now write click whatever u want to write and click on burn with "k3b"
it will make your data cd.
for this u should have one cd-writer and one cd-rom as u can not take cd out
while running it.
