Using Direct-to-Disc (DLA)

CD-RW media. CD-RW media can be written to many times, while CD-R media
can only be formatted and written to once. Direct-to-Disc media uses a special
format called UDF to allow the media to be written to directly by the operating
system.
To format and write to CD-R or CD-RW media, do the following:
1. Insert a disc into the drive.
2. Double-click My Computer , and right-click the Combo Drive letter.
3. Click Format .
4. After formatting is complete, you can drag and drop files to the Combo Drive
icon, or you can move files in Windows Explorer or with the command prompt.
