Dell 4150 owner manual How to Copy a CD

•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

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.

1Click the Start button, point to All Programs→ Roxio Easy CD Creator, and then click Project Selector.

The Select a Project window appears.

2Click 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.

3Insert 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.

4Click Copy.

Depending on the size of the files that are being copied, the copy process may take a few minutes.

5After 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.

HINT: If you have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive and experience recording problems, check the Roxio support website at support.roxio.com for available software patches.
