Easiest way to back up ~2GB on workPC with only WinXP?

My workPC has lots of MP3's to keep me going through the day. 🙂 It has a CDRW/DVD combo drive, so I can back them up to CD-RW's and take 'em home (or to a new work machine if I get reassigned) but what's a good way to do a complete backup? Anything more than 700MB and WinXP gives you "not enough room on CD" messages. I'd rather not have to do this in 4 manual chunks if I don't have to.

NOTE: I cannot install new software to these boxes.
 
Hey great! I'll just run out an buy.... oh wait. that's not an option.

How about sticking to the parameters? 😉 I don't want to have to buy anything if not necessary.

I should spend $10 and get a 2.5HDD USB case and rip apart an old broken lappy I have.

Boom. $10 4GB USB drive. 😉

The OP never said you don't have any hardware of your own. It just said you can't install software.

Ahh. Oops. 🙂

There's a 4GB USB thumbdrive at CompUSA for something like $80USD after rebate right now. Those ALWAYS come in handy. 🙂
 
dude, really, you could just sepperate the mp3's into 4 diff folders, should take you what, 1 min. Then burn 4 cd's.
 
NCIX always has a deal on flash drives almost every week. Last email they sent me there was a 2 gig on for $22.95 CAD.
