X30 - Rapid Restore / Create CD-Archive grayed out.

[tradbourne]

On a new system, I did the Rapid Restore Base PC image and would like to make Backup CD-R's of the base system. Problem is that option is grayed out. Rapid Restore PC-Help suggests hooking up a CD-R drive, and or updating the ASPI drivers. The CD-R drive I am using is an external and it works fine with WinXP, and I updated the ASPI drivers. Anything else I should do?

Before doing the Rapid Restore Base I did the following:
Upgraded to Win XP SP2
Loaded Office and stuff.
