Using Multimedia
When prompted, insert a blank media into the drive and click OK.
• If you have two media drives, select the drive into which you have
inserted your source media, and then click
Disc Copy. The computer
copies the data from the source media to the blank one.
Once you have finished copying the source media, the media that you have
created automatically ejects.
Using Blank Media
CD-RW drives can write to CD recording media only (including high-speed
CD-RW media) while DVD-writable drives can write to both CD and DVD
recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After the
maximum storage capacity of a CD-R is reached, you cannot write to that CD-R
again (see the Sonic documentation for more information). Use blank CD-RWs
if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on the CD later.
Blank DVD+/-Rs can be used to permanently store large amounts of data. After
you create a DVD+/-R disc, you may not be able to write to that disc again if the
disc is finalized or closed during the final stage of the disc creation process. Use
blank DVD+/-RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on the
disc later.
