Burning CDs from Windows Explorer !
You can use Windows Explorer to Burn your files to a CDR
or CDRW disc. OK once you know what you want to copy on
to your CD, and know whether you have a CD-R or CD-RW
recording drive, you can follow these steps to create
your CD-R or CD-RW disc!
1. Buy some blank CD discs from your local computer store.
Watch out for sales and rebates that's the best time to
stock up on blank CDs. I ones bought a box of 100 blank
CDs for $39. USD with a mail in rebate for $39. USD, net
cost after mail in rebate $0. Make sure to check whether
you are buying CD-R or CD-RW disks.
2. Put a disc in the CD-R drive and close the drawer.
Windows will indicates that it has detected a CD by
flashing a CD-ROM icon next to your mouse pointer. After
Windows scans the disc and determines that it is a
blank disc, an Explorer window for the disk opens.
3. Drag and drop or copy all items that you wish to store
on the disc into the new window and arrange them into
folders as you like. For audio discs, arrange the files
into the order in which you want the tracks to appear.
Your data will appear on the disc in exactly the same
way you arrange it.
4. Now click on Copy Files To CD button
in the Task pane. You will see the Windows CD Copy Wizard.
Follow the wizard's instructions and wait, It takes approximately
10 - 20 minutes to burn a CD. The more information or
files you are writing on the CD, the longer it takes to
completely burn.
5. Test your new CD in the type of drive
in which you want use it on. Try it on a audio CD player,
computer CD drive, CD-R drive. Tip: You can test burn
your files to a CD-RW disc, if it doesn't work out you
can record over it again. WinXpFix.com
