How do I Make CDs That Can be Read on Other Computers?

Use the Easy CD Creator (Data) software and CD-R discs when you want to create CDs you can share with other users, for example if you want to send the CD to your co-workers.

Virtually all CD-ROM drives and operating systems (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and DOS) can read CD-R discs made with Easy CD Creator (Data).

To start the Easy CD Creator (Data) software insert a blank CD-R disc in the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads: Make a data CD that is the most compatible with other

CD-ROM drives.

When is the DirectCD Software Useful?

With DirectCD you can simply drag and drop files onto the CD-Writer Plus icon to make CDs. Use DirectCD when you want to create data CDs (not audio) to use on your own computer.

When you save to a disc within a software application or Windows Explorer, Direct CD copies the file directly to the disc.

DirectCD allows you to organize CD-R discs when you eject them so they can be read by most CD-ROM drives under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or later.

To prepare a disc for use with DirectCD software insert a blank disc in the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads: Make a data CD the easiest way.

How do I Make Audio CDs?

Use Easy CD Creator (Audio) and CD-R discs to create audio CDs.
