you can also burn data to CD without Nero also here the
process is not as complicated compared to Nero,Follow the steps to burn data to
CD:
First insert a blank disc on your CD/DVD
drive. An AutoPlay window will open so choose burn files to disc
Another prompt will appear and this time asking you to
choose between the two options of burning. The default is the “mastered”
option which lets you burn files traditionally – the burned files are read only
files so you will not be able to edit or remove them after burning.
The other option is the “live file system” where you can
save files like on a USB flash drive
– it means you can save, edit and delete files on the disc anytime. The
disadvantage is that it is not compatible with players outside XP, Vista and
Windows 7. so if you want to burn a disc that you want your XBOX
360 to recognize, burn it using the default mastered option.
In this window, enter the title of the disc then click
next. You should see your drive on Explorer with a label that says “drag
files to folder…”
Using
Windows 7’s side by side snap view position the window above to the left side
and another window to the right side. This way you can see the files
being added up as you drag files from the right Explorer window to the left
Click the “burn to disc button”
You may edit the title of the disc or adjust the recording speed. By
default it will choose the recording speed supported by your disc.
Click the next button to begin the burning process.
The progress bar will show you how much time is needed for the burning process.
That’s it. The good thing about this built in capability is that you
won’t have to install third party software just to do basic media
burning tasks. I just wish it has that Nero or Roxio-like interface
where you can see how much disc space your files are occupying. There
is a workaround though, you can still right click the selected files and
see the size occupied by the files but it doesn’t tell you exactly how
much space is still left with the disc.
