Helpful Tips
• Use Microsoft Windows Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only after you start
Roxio Creator
and open a Creator project.
• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a 650-MB
file to a blank 650-MB CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1–2 MB of the blank space to finalize the
recording.
