Creating a Data CD

1. Put a blank CD-R disk in your CD-RW drive,
    then double-click your "CD Creator" icon:


 
2. Your CD Creator software opens, and you choose  which files or folders you want to write to your CD. In most cases, you'll want to navigate to your "My Documents" folder on your D drive, since this is the default location for your Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, Eudora mail, Netscape bookmarks and other personal files:


 

3. With your selected folders or files highlighted in the upper window (in this case, "My Documents"), click once on the "Add" button, and you'll see your data appear in the CD project window below.  Then, just click the red "Record" button to begin recording your data to your CD:


 

While your CD is being made, you'll see a progress menu, and get a notification when it's finished... Voila! You've just created your own CD!  Tip: It's a good idea to label your CD at once with what's on it and today's date, using an indelible, non-smearing marker (the "Sharpie" felt pen works great)!
