Another task that turns out to be not too hard. I couldn't find any native support for writing ISO images under Windows XP, but there is a version of cdrecord for Windows. It requires Cygwin to be installed, but I always have that on any Windows desktop I use.
The -scanbus shows what devices are available:
$ cdrecord.exe -scanbus

As 'CD-R/RW SW-248F' is pretty obviously the CD drive, I know
the unit to use is 1,0,0. Writing the image to disk is as simple
as:
$ cdrecord.exe -dev=1,0,0 cd-image.iso ./cdrecord: No write mode specified. ./cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode. ./cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults. ./cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...
