If included with your Notebook, you can use your CD-RW,
DVD-RW, or DVD+RW drive to write ("burn") data and music
CDs.
A data CD is a compact disc (CD) used to store PC data (for
example, files and folders you have on your hard disk).
A music, or audio, CD is a compact disc (CD) used to record
music that you can play on your home or car stereo CD
player. Using a CD-R instead of a CD-RW for music CDs will
help ensure a greater level of compatibility with conventional
CD-players.
There are several different options for burning CDs. The first
step for using any of these options is to insert a blank re-
cordable CD into your CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW drive.
Nero Burning ROM can create different types of audio, video,
and data CDs quickly and easily. Click Start, then All Pro-
grams, then Ahead Nero to access Nero Burning ROM. Fol-
low the step-by-step instructions given by the software wiz-
ard to create a CD.
Windows XP includes functionality for quickly and easily cre-
ating data CDs:
1. Select the files or folders you would like to write to your
CD. To select more than one file, hold down the CTRL key
while you click the files you want.
2. In the File and Folder Tasks menu on the left (Picture
Tasks if the files are located in My Pictures), click Copy
this file, Copy this folder, or Copy the selected
items. If you do not see the File and Folder Tasks menu,
select Tools on the main menu, then Folder Options.
Under Tasks on the General tab, select Show common
tasks in folders.
3. In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD-RW, and then
click Copy.
