Per - here is a thought.

For very little money, I installed a Firewire card on my PC.

Hook up your spare firewire drive to the PC and format ISO as usual 
with Fdisk or whatever XP uses..

voila - PC sees the drive and so does your Mac. Since I did this no 
more burning no more waiting for the LAN to copy things over no more 
logging in or troubleshooting. Its very fast and convenient. I never 
thought "sneaker net" would make a comeback - but it is getting good 
use in my studio.
