• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc to its maximum capacity;

for example, do not copy a 650-MB file to a 650-MB blank CD. The

CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of the blank CD to finalize the

recording.

• Use a blank CD-RW disc to practice CD recording until you are

familiar with CD recording techniques. If you make a mistake, you can

erase the CD-RW disc and try again. You can also use blank CD-RW

discs to test music file projects before you record the project

permanently to a blank CD-R disc.

• See the Roxio support website at support.roxio.com for additional

helpful tips.

How to Copy a CD

HINT: If you have a

DVD/CD-RW combo drive
and you experience
recording problems, first
check for available
software patches at the
Dell Support website at

support.dell.com and if
necessary, the Roxio
support website at

support.roxio.com.

The procedure assumes that your computer is equipped with a single
CD-RW drive (without an additional CD drive). If your computer is
equipped with both types of drives, see the Roxio documentation for
instructions on how to copy CDs from a CD drive to a CD-RW drive.

Click the Start button, point to All Programs→ Roxio Easy CD

Creator, and then click Project Selector.
The Select a Project window appears.

Click Disc Copier. (Disc Copier is titled "CD Copier" in some versions

of Easy CD Creator Basic.)
The Disc Copier window appears and displays your CD-RW drive in

the Copy from and the Record to lists.

Insert the source CD that you want to copy into the CD-RW drive.
The Disc Copier project program briefly checks the source CD in the

CD-RW drive to ensure that it is a readable CD.

Click Copy.
Depending on the size of the files that are being copied, the copy

process may take a few minutes.

After the source CD is copied, remove the source CD from the

CD-RW drive tray.
The CD-RW drive tray opens automatically after the source CD is

copied.
