Making Data CDs

You can make data CDs with DirectCD™ and with Easy CD Creator™. You can copy data to both CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs. DirectCD and Easy CD Creator make data CDs in a slightly different way for different purposes. The correct program is launched automatically when you decide what kind of data CD you want to make.

■If you want to make a data CD to use on your own computer, follow the instructions in “Making Data CDs to Use on Your Own Computer” below.

■If you want to make a data CD to use on your own computer or on different types of computers (for example, computers running under DOS or Windows 3.x) that do not have DirectCD, follow the instructions in “Making Data CDs to Use on Different Types of Computers” on page 5-6.

DirectCD enables you to write files directly to a CD-Recordable (CD-R) or CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) disc, in much the same way you would write them to a floppy diskette or a removable media drive. This is especially handy for making data discs to use with your own computer. For example, you might want to

■Archive data and then remove it from your hard drive

■Back up the files on your hard drive
