To copy the CD or DVD:
•
If you have one CD or DVD drive
, ensure that the settings are correct
and click the
Disc Copy
button. The computer reads your source CD
or DVD and copies the data to a temporary folder on your computer
hard drive.
When prompted, insert a blank CD or DVD into the drive and
click
OK
.
•
If you have two CD or DVD drives
, select the drive into which you have
inserted your source CD or DVD and click the
Disc
Copy
button. The
computer copies the data from the source CD or DVD to the blank
CD or DVD.
Once you have finished copying the source CD or DVD, the CD or DVD
that you have created automatically ejects.
Using Blank CDs and DVDs
CD-RW drives can write to CD recording media only (including high-speed
CD-RW) while DVD-writable drives can write to both CD and DVD
recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After
creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic
documentation for more information). Use blank CD-RWs to write to CDs
or to erase, rewrite, or update data on CDs.
Blank DVD+/-Rs can be used to permanently store large amounts of
information. After you create a DVD+/-R disc, you may not be able to write
to that disc again if the disc is "finalized" or "closed" during the final stage of
the disc creation process. Use blank DVD+/-RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite,
or update information on that disc later.
