You can use the Write Files to Disc Wizard or any other burning program to burn documents, folders, and files to a CD. In any case, the instructions for transferring files to media will be similar.
Writing to a CD in any format is easy enough. To do this, take a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The difference between the two types of discs is that files are written to CD-R once and cannot be erased later. Whereas from CD-RW you can delete unnecessary files and record new ones as many times as necessary. The volume of these disks is such that it is convenient to record text documents, pictures, photos, music, small videos on them.
Instructions for writing information to disk
Insert the disc into the drive of your computer or laptop. Open disk on your computer. The system can automatically open the disc folder. But if the computer does not, you should open “My Computer” and find the CD / DVD drive in it.
Select those files and folders that you want to transfer to disk. Then you need to grab them with the mouse cursor and transfer them to disk. Or press the right mouse button and select "Copy" from the list that appears. Click the same mouse button on the location of the open disk and add files using "Paste".
The files will be transferred to disk. However, this does not mean that they are recorded. If you try to remove the disc from the drive at this stage, the files you need will not be on it. To burn files, right-click on an empty space in the disk folder and select "Burn files to CD" in the window that appears. This will open the wizard for writing files to disk.
In the name window for a given CD, instead of the name "disc", you can choose any to remember what information is recorded on this medium. Or, you can leave the disc unnamed. You can also check the box "Close the wizard when the files are written", but this is also optional. To continue the recording process, click "Next".
The disc will start recording as indicated by a green bar. When it reaches the end and disappears, a new "Done" window will appear. This means the process is over. The burned disc should pop out of the computer by itself. You can re-insert it into the drive to check for files on it. This disc can be used.
Other recording programs
There are also separate disc burning programs that require installation on a computer. Such programs have a user-friendly interface and help the user with clear instructions during the process of writing to disk. Using them is simple: you just need to insert the disc into the drive, run the program on your computer, and then follow the instructions that appear.
The most popular and user-friendly recording software is Nero. It allows you to record different types of information on different types of discs, quickly and reliably. Another handy program is BurnAware Free. As the name implies, it comes in a free version, although there is a more complete paid version as well. But in order to burn a disc without any problems, the program fits very well. No inconvenient functions, everything is simple and straightforward. Of course, the commercial version contains more features that will be useful for advanced users, for example, the ability to copy discs or create images for them.
A more powerful program is Ashampoo Burning Studio Free, also a free version, but it will delight the user with a wider range of functions than BurnAware Free. The downside is slow loading. There are dozens of similar programs, so you can always choose the most suitable option from them.
