How do I save Outlook to my external CD Burner?

[South River]

I have been transferring contacts entries by floppy disc from my PC to my
laptop. I now have a CD/DVD Burner and need to know how to export to my
burner. I get a error message that contacts is write protected.

Create a personal address book (PAB) which will create
a .pst file. Then you can copy the .pst file to another
location.

You do this by going to tools, email accounts, add a new
directory or address book.

Click Address Book
Click personal address book
note the path so you can find it later.
Apply, OK

You will see "personal folders" in your list of folders.
Right click on Contacts in the folder list and choose
Personal Folders from the list. Then go to the path and
copy the .pst file.

Wrong. Do nothing of the kind. A PAB has nothing to do with a PST file.

Any file you put on a CD acquires a read only attribute. Move the file to a
hard drive and remove that read only attribute.
