Open up the Rewritable CD drawer (The second
from the top on the computer) and place in a blank CD-R or CD-RW.
These are recordable and rewritable blank CD's. You can purchase them
at the Bookstore or your nearby computer or office supply store. The
TDK brand has been very reliable.
At the Start menu, choose Programs >
Adaptec Easy CD Creator > Easy CD Creator
Give it several seconds to
open up. Then you will see the Adaptec Easy CD Creator Wizard. Choose
that you want to create either a Data CD or a Music CD. Then Choose
"Next".
If you want to be sure everything will
work properly before you actually record to CD-R, then choose "Perform
the Test". and "Next". This will perfom
a test but not really record data. It will tell you if there is a
problem recording and offer ideas on how to solve it. The only downside
is that this can take several minutes.
If you feel fairly confident that the recording
will work and you don't want to wait for it to perform a test, then
click "Do not perform the test".
Then click "Next".
Click "Create CD Now".
This can take several minutes. It will eject the CD when finished
and tell you that it was created successfully.
