Sorry but you weren't very specific with your question.
I presume you want to burn some files to disc, but what are they? If it is a exe file then it's simply a matter of copying it to a disc in the usual way using any software you have, but if it is a bin/cue file then you need something like Alcohol120% or Nero.

Maybe I am taking this for granted but do you not know the very basics of transfering a file to a cd?
In your case it is simply a matter of using the software that I presume you got with your cd writer and literally copying them to a disc in the very basic fashion.
For example, run your application ie Easy CD Creator, select data copying and find the folder you wish to copy, then copy, this is kids stuff, surely.

hi
thats it! just watch the file size! to fit to cdr! thats why i say use a dvd disc if you have a burner! you can get 4.36 gig on one! instaed of 700/800 meg!
you could try to rar or zip them down to compress them to fit more to cdr?
Thx...

hi
ok - if the music is original just come out stuff it could be there is copy protection stopping it? not sure there? need to start new thread on this?!
but also you could be trying to over burn as the yellow marker is 650 meg warning! try to keep below it! or use 700 meg cdr's instaed!
Thx...
are you going cd to cd backup? or mixing files? are they cda format or mp3?

hi
the hd's are on raid which means you only see one drive! 80 gig there the new ones out to! ATA150 speed "like a rocket !!!!!!!"
as if one goes bang the other keeps all info on them! and trust i had one go to! i was a very happy man on raid system! LOL
you could try burn half to cd-rw then the other half to cd-rw see if one plays and one not?
it will save your ears as i have 4 children and there music just isnt CHARLOTTE CHURCH or PINK FLOYD !!!

Yay Rotary! Long time no see buddy!
* Praetor runs out of the room *
...
* Praetor runs back in and tosses Rotary a beer *
As for the music cds, (1) burn them slower that might help, (2) what make/model of burner you got? (3) Also try setting the Write Method to Track-At-Once (some burners/players dont like Disc-At-Once... odd to find a case like it but you never know).
Praetor still drools over Rotary's RAM :P
