RITING
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 exam-
ple, 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 recordable 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 Programs, then
Ahead Nero to access Nero Burning ROM. Follow the step-by-
step instructions given by the software wizard to create a CD.
Windows XP includes functionality for quickly and easily creating
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.
4. Double-click My Computer, then the CD-RW. Windows dis-
plays a temporary area where the files are held before they
are copied to the CD. Verify that the files and folders that you
intend to copy to the CD appear under Files Ready to be Writ-
ten to the CD.
