Happy Fourth!!
To Copy
Files And Folders To A CD With Windows XP Pro Is Pretty Simple!
To copy files and folders to a CD:
1. Insert a blank writable CD into the CD recorder.
2.
Double-click My Computer, and then click the files or folders that 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.
3. Click any
of the following options:
- Copy this file
- Copy this folder
- Copy the selected items
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. Check that the files and folders that you intend
to copy to the CD are displayed under Files Ready to Be Written to the
CD.
6. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Write to CD.
7. After the
CD Writing Wizard starts, follow the instructions in the wizard.
8. When the
process is finished, the wizard displays a check box for you to choose
to create another CD like the one you just made. If you want to create
multiple copies of the same CD, click Yes, write these files to another
CD and insert another blank, writable CD into the CD recorder. Follow
the instructions in the wizard.
NOTE: After you copy files or folders to the CD, it is useful to view
the CD to confirm that the files are copied.

Delete CD Recorder Temporary Files After You
Are Done!
To delete files and folders from the CD recorder temporary storage area:
1. Double-click My Computer, and then double-click the CD recording drive.
Windows displays a temporary storage area where files are held before they are
copied to the CD. Files or folders located in the temporary storage area are
listed under Files Ready to Be Written to the CD.
2. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Delete temporary files.
Windows deletes the files and folders from the temporary storage area and moves
them to the Recycle Bin.
NOTE: When you delete the contents of the temporary storage area, you make this
area available for another set of files and folders that you want to copy to the
CD. The files are not deleted from their original location on your computer or
from the CD.

Troubleshoot Burning CD's!
- Older CD recorders may not create (or "burn") CD-RW discs. To resolve this
issue, use the CD recorder to back up information to CD-R discs.
- You can erase and use CD-RW discs again, but the discs may not play in other
devices (such as audio CD players). To resolve this issue, use the CD recorder
to back up information on CD-R discs. These discs can be written only once, but
they play in most CD players and CD-ROM drives.
- CD recording may fail intermittently. To resolve this issue, use any of the
following methods:
- Defragment your hard disk regularly. To start Disk Defragmenter, click Start,
point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then
click Disk Defragmenter.
- Check your hard disk for errors regularly. You can use the Error-checking tool
to check for file system errors and bad sectors on your hard disk:
1. Double-click My Computer, and then click the local disk that you want to
check.
2. On the File menu, click Properties.
3. Click the Tools tab, and then click Check Now in the Error-checking section.
4. In the Check disk options section, click to select the Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors check box.
- Be sure to free up enough hard disk space for the files you want to burn to
CD. You can use Disk Cleanup to free up space on your hard disk. To open Disk
Cleanup, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to
System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
- Before you start the recording process, close all other programs (such as
screen savers and anti-virus software), and avoid starting programs that may
interrupt the recording process.
