"How do I burn a CD-R in Windows XP"
An instruction sheet by Sean Pease
| When a recordable (blank) CD-R disc is put in to a CD-RW
drive on a computer running Windows XP you will see the following window
appear. Select the "Open CD folder using Windows Explorer" option. Click OK. |
 |
| A window will open showing the contents of the drive letter which corresponds to the CD-RW drive. |
 |
| You can now "drag and drop" items into this volume (drive
letter) using the left mouse. Notice that there is a small arrow
pointing down on the copied file icon. This indicates that it is in
the CD-R copy buffer but not on the CD media yet. You must click on the "Write these files to CD" link located in the upper left corner of the window under the section entitled "CD Writing Tasks". |
 |
| The CD Writing Wizard will appear and ask you to name the CD-R. Insert a name or leave the default and then click on Next. |
 |
| At this point, the files will actually begin coping from the CD-R copy buffer to the CD-R media itself. |
 |
| Congratulations! You have burned the CD-R. If
you want to copy the exact same data to another CD-R disc, check the "Yes,
write these files to another CD". When completed you can select Finish. The CD-R copy buffer will then be deleted from your hard drive. |
