If you have two optical drives
, select the drive into which you have
inserted your source disc and click the
Copy Disc
button to continue.
The computer copies the data from the source disc to the blank disc.
Once you have finished copying the source disc, the disc that you have
created automatically ejects.
Using Blank CD or DVD Media
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 a blank CD-RW if you plan to
erase, rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
Blank DVD+/-R media can be used to permanently store large amounts of
information. After you create a DVD+/-R, 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+/-RW media if you plan to erase,
rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
