Most of the computer stations within the library are equipped with CD recorders and Nero software for recording CDs. Please note that instructions for saving files to CD differ depending on whether you are saving to a CD-R or CD-RW.
Recording data to a CD-R:
Recording data to a CD-RW:
Like floppy disks, CD-RW discs must be formatted before you can begin recording information on them. Nero uses InCD to format CD-RWs. NOTE: CD-RW discs formatted with InCD may not be readable on PCs without InCD software. CD-RWs formatted using other software programs may not be compatible with InCD. Please be aware that reformatting a CD-RW using InCD will erase any previously saved data.
To format a CD-RW:
Once your disc has been formatted, you can save files to your CD-RW just as you would to a floppy disk. You can save your files to CD-RW in most software applications by selecting "File > Save As" from the main menu and selecting the CD-RW drive as the location to which to save them (the CD-RW drive letter will vary by PC; your disc's name will usually appear next to it). The CD-RW drive light flashes whenever the computer is writing files to your CD.
When you are finished, eject your disc by pressing the eject button on the computer's CD-RW drive. Be sure to close any open computer files before ejecting your CD-RW.
