Creating and copying data discs
You can burn two types of data discs:
• Live File System writes files immediately to the recordable disc, making it a one-step
process like copying files to a flash drive. Windows XP and later versions of Windows
support this feature.
• Mastered copies files to a temporary folder before you tell the computer to burn the files
to the disc. Although this is a slower process than Live File System, the resulting disc is
compatible with all operating systems.
The instructions below show you how to burn a disc using the Mastered format, which can be
read by all personal computers, regardless of the operating system installed.

To create a data disc:
1 Insert a blank, writable optical disc into your optical disc drive. The Autoplay dialog box
opens.
2 Click Burn files to disc. The Prepare this blank disc dialog box opens.
3 Type the title of the disc, then click Show formatting options.
4 Click Mastered, then click Next. An empty folder opens.
5 Open the folder that contains the files you want to burn to disc, then click and drag the
files to the empty disc folder.
6 Click Burn to disc. The files are burned to the disc.
