Specific Instructions according to your Windows OS
There are many ways to burn CDs and DVDs. Most new operating systems
have these features built into them. We also have included the BurnAware
(Windows) utility in case your operating system does not have the ability
to burn a DVD (such as with XP). Your computer may already have burning
software installed that will work well with this drive. If this is the case, no
additional software is needed to burn CDs or DVDs.
If you would like more detailed instructions on burning a disc with your
specific operating system, please refer to the links below.
