The CD-RW drive allows
you to create your own CDs.
You can buy two types of
media: CD-R and CD-RW
discs.
CD-R media can be played
on most of the newer CD
players, CD-ROM, and
DVD-ROM drives. CD-R
media can be written to only
once. However, you can
write to CD-RW media
using multiple recording
sessions until you close out
the disc.
CD-RW media can be used
to make backups of your
personal CDs or hard disk.
These discs are re-usable
and can be erased and
rewritten to numerous times.
The Adaptec Easy CD
Creator software is intuitive.
When you place the cursor
over any of the functions, a
description of the function is
displayed.

Creating Your Own CDs

CDs are created using the Adaptec Easy CD Creator (available on
select models). Various uses of the CD-RW drive are shown
below.
Note: Confirm that the Easy CD Creator software has been installed before
you begin creating CDs.
Media
Audio Create personal music CDs with your favorite music
tracks and MP3/WMA files.
Data Create a data CD to store data, such as files or folders
from the hard disk. This feature is useful for backing up
important files or sharing data with other people.
Direct CD Write files directly to a CD-R/CD-RW just like you copy
files to a disk drive. Drag-and-drop files from one drive to
another in Microsoft Explorer without accessing Easy CD
Creator.
CD Copier Create an entire copy of a CD or a backup of data files.
Jewel Case Make custom jewel case inserts and CD labels to indicate
Creator the title and contents of a CD (labels are sold separately).
