Copying a CD or DVD

CAUTION: To prevent loss of information or damage to a disc, observe the following guidelines:

Before writing to a disc, connect the computer to a reliable external power source. Do not write to a disc while the computer is running on battery power.

Before writing to a disc, close all open programs except the disc software you are using.

Do not copy directly from a source disc to a destination disc or from a network drive to a destination disc. Save the information to your hard drive, and then burn from your hard drive to the destination disc.

Do not use the computer keyboard or move the computer while the computer is writing to a disc. The write process is sensitive to vibration.

NOTE: For details about using software included with the computer, refer to the software manufacturer’s instructions, which may be provided on disc, in the software Help, or on the manufacturer’s Web site.

1.Select Start > All Programs > CyberLink DVD Suites > Power2Go.

2.Insert the disc you want to copy into the optical drive.

3.Click Copy at the bottom right of the screen.

4.When prompted, remove the source disc from the optical drive and insert a blank disc into the drive. After the information is copied, the disc you created ejects automatically.

Creating or “burning” a CD or DVD

If your computer includes a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, you can use software such as Windows Media Player or CyberLink Power2Go to burn data and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files. To burn video files to a CD or DVD, use MyDVD.

Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD:

●Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.

●A CD-R or DVD-R is usually best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it cannot be changed.

NOTE: You cannot create an audio DVD with CyberLink Power2Go.

●Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use CD-Rs to burn music CDs.

●A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.

●DVD players used in home systems usually do not support all DVD formats. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions that came with your DVD player for a list of supported formats.

●An MP3 file uses less space than other music file formats, and the process for creating an MP3 disc is the same as the process for creating a data file. MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers with MP3 software installed.
