Burn discs under Windows XP

First, the basic settings

Windows XP recognizes many of the currently branded burners, so the system is automatically recognized after the burner is installed. To better use the burn feature of Windows XP, you need to set the burner appropriately before you use it. Right-click on My Computer, choose Properties from a shortcut menu that pops up, and then pop up a CD-RW driver dialog box and select the Burn tab item (figure) to set it up.

1. Enable burn feature

Check the "Enable CD recording on this device" checkbox to enable the CD burning feature of the burner, and if this check box is not checked, the burner can only be used as a read-only CD-ROM drive;

After the Windows XP Burn feature is enabled, we can read, write, and delete files in the CD drive by manipulating the hard disk files. For example, you can copy a file or folder to the CD drive by using the selected, drag-and-drop method in the explorer; You can also add files to the CD drive using move, cut, copy, paste, or send to, and you can also delete files or folders in the CD drive.

Doug Note: The above file pointing to the CD drive does not burn files to the disc, but instead stores the files that need to be burned in a temporary folder provided by Windows XP.

2. Settings for "mirrored" drives

Windows XP requires a portion of your hard disk space to store mirrored files as a buffer disk when you implement burning. The buffer disk is determined by the user in the "Local Disk" Drop-down selection box, in general, the file produced near 1GB when burning the disc, after setting, check that the selected disk partition has enough space. It is recommended that you do not set the cached file for the drive on local Disk C:.

3. Burn Speed Setting

We can set the current burner's burning speed according to the actual situation, this proposal chooses 24x.

After the above settings, check the following "Automatically eject CD after write complete" checkbox, and the burner will automatically eject the burn disc after the disc is burned.
