There a number of ways to back-up your data onto a CD and make copies of CDs. We recommend Roxio Creator Classic, which comes pre-installed on the School Computers.
Using Creator Classic to Burn a CD
- Double-Click on the Creator Classic icon to open the program.
- In the middle of the program, you will see a Project tab, and then buttons for Data, Music or Other. Select Data.
- Select your source (the location of your files). Click on the drop-down menu next to the Select Source and click on your drive/folder, for example My documents. You will now see your files appear in the window underneath the Select Source drop down box.
- Select the files you wish to add to the CD from the upper window and drag and drop the file into the lower window. Continue adding files until you are done or until the file sizes have filled the disk.
Note: If you wish to select files from an alternate location as well, select that location form the drop down box. You can place files on the CD from as many different locations as you need.
- Once you have added your files to the Project window you are ready to burn the disk. To burn the CD click the round orange button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
- Once you have pressed the record button, a second window (Record Setup) will appear to allow you to select a
different number of copies or change the speed of the burn. The default speed is the max speed of your CDRW drive. If you have trouble with the burn timing out or not finishing, lower this speed down slightly by clicking
on the drop down and clicking on a different speed Press Ok.
- Once the copy is complete the drive will eject the CD.
- You can now remove the CD and click the Close box (the X in the upper-right corner) to close this window.
