This is probably a dumb question but I will ask it any how. I have a Windows XP machine with an internal IDE TDK CDRW. The PC is networked with my iMac running Jaguar 10.2 nicely. If I share the CDRW and connect via the iMac and load CD burner software in the iMac could I burn to the shared CDRW?

no, but you could transfer the files to be burned or a disk image to the PC and burn that instead.

You might be able to do it the other way around. Try burning a CD on the PC with files from your iMac. Depending on the program, it might copy the files to the PC first before the burn, so you might as well copy them over ahead of time. Ideally, the program will burn the files right from your iMac's hard disk. The only downside to this is that you won't be able to burn a HFS or HFS+ disc this way (I don't know of any programs that burn these discs on the PC side.)
