step six. The actual writing to the CD is a separate step, after the files
are copied to a temporary holding area.
To copy files and folders to a CD
1.. Insert a blank, writable CD into the CD recorder.
2.. Open My Computer.
3.. Click the files or folders you want to copy to the CD. To select more
than one file, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want.
Then, under File and Folder Tasks, click Copy this file, Copy this folder,
or Copy the selected items.
If the files are located in My Pictures, under Picture Tasks, click Copy
to CD or Copy all items to CD, and then skip to step 5.
4.. In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD recording drive, and then
click Copy.
5.. In My Computer, double-click the CD recording drive. Windows displays
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 Written to the CD.
6.. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Write these files to CD. Windows
displays the CD Writing Wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
Notes
a.. To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
b.. Do not copy more files to the CD than it will hold. Standard CDs hold
up to 650 megabytes (MB). High-capacity CDs hold up to 850 MB.
c.. Be sure that you have enough disk space on your hard disk to store the
temporary files that are created during the CD writing process. For a
standard CD, Windows reserves up to 700 MB of the available free space. For
a high-capacity CD, Windows reserves up to 1 gigabyte (GB) of the available
free space.
d.. After you copy files or folders to the CD, it is useful to view the CD
to confirm that the files are copied. For more information, click Related
Topics.
To add more files to a CD
1.. Insert the writable CD into the CD recorder.
2.. Open My Computer, and check that there is available disk space on the
CD to add more files.
To check the available disk space on the CD, in My Computer, right-click
the CD recording drive, and then click Properties.
3.. Click the files or folders you want to copy to the CD. To select more
than one file, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want.
Then, under File and Folder Tasks, click Copy this file, Copy this folder,
or Copy the selected items.
If the files are located in My Pictures, under Picture Tasks, click Copy
to CD or Copy all items to CD, and then skip to step 5.
4.. In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD recording drive, and then
click Copy.
5.. In My Computer, double-click the CD recording drive. Windows displays
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 Written to the CD.
6.. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Write these files to CD. Windows
displays the CD Writing Wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
If the CD is not full, you can add more files to the CD by repeating this
process.
