The following instructions explain how to make an exact copy of a CD or

Plus for other purposes, such as creating music CDs from audio files stored on
your computer or backing up important data. For help, open Roxio Creator
Plus, and then click the question mark icon in the upper-right corner of the
window.
The DVD drives installed in Dell computers do not support HD-DVD media.

How to Copy a CD or DVD

NOTE:
Most commercial DVDs have copyright protection and cannot be copied
using Roxio Creator Plus.
1 Open Roxio Creator Plus.
2 Under the Copy tab, click Disc Copy.
3 To copy the CD or DVD:
• If you have one CD/DVD drive, ensure that the settings are correct, and
then click Disc Copy. The computer reads your source CD or DVD
and copies the data to a temporary folder on your computer hard
drive.
When prompted, insert a blank CD or DVD into the drive and
click OK.
• If you have two CD/DVD drives, select the drive into which you have
inserted your source CD or DVD, and then click Disc Copy. The
computer copies the data from the source CD or DVD to the blank
CD or DVD.
Once you have finished copying the source CD or DVD, the CD or DVD
that you have created automatically ejects.
