Creating a CD
There are several applications available for creating CDs.
Compaq provides CD burning software on select models to assist
you with creating CDs.
You can use either CD-R or CD-RW discs to create your CDs.
You can write to a CD-R disc only once; but you can write to,
erase, rewrite to, and reuse a CD-RW disc.
It is recommended that you use a CD-R disc if you are going to
play it in a CD player, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or DVD+R/RW
drive.
CD-RW discs are typically used for making data backups of your
personal CDs and computer hard drive.
