Can someone explain to me how to put photographs from MY PICTURES on my pc unto a CD.?

Question

I have got a new laptop and need to take off photographs before I give it to my niece.I have tried but so far the CD remains blank.

It's from my old laptop using windowsme

as i'm using windowsME on an elderly laptop apparently this is only possible using a Flash Drive,I have now got one but am still unable to take the photos off. HELP>

Answer 1

you just need to put in the cd (make sure it is the right type of cd) and then go into your "my pictures" folder and click copy to disc.

Answer 2

I am assuming your PC has a CD writer drive and runs on Windows XP. First load a blank CD into the drive. Open My Computer and click on the CD drive file (its usually called D:/). Now open the file containing the pictures you want to transfer. Simply highlight the pictures with your mouse and drag them across to the CD drive file. There should be a label on the left side of the CD drive window that says "Write these files to CD". Click on it, and the computer will do the rest.

I hope this solves your problem. I know using computers can be daunting at first, but it does get better! :-)

Answer 3

Why use a CD when flashdrives give you so much more space and they are so easy to use? Today's paper lists a 1G for $29.

Re: the CD -- do you have to format the CD before copying to it? I have two burners, a Samsung and a Dell. Both require formatting before using the CD as a floppy. You have to use CD/RWs. In both cases, the files cannot be view on another computer unless the other computer has their reader on it.

Answer 4

u need to have a cd-writer to do that..i am assuming u have one..and using windows xp...
Just browse to your pictures >>>Select the ones to want on the cd using ctrl key..>>>right click on any of the selected photos>>and click send to>>>send to cd drive...

when u do that a icon will apear with a pop up in the task bar(bottom-right)..the pop up saying u have files waiting to be written on a cd...
click on that and u will be taken on to a cd burning wizard...just click on next>>next>> and u should be done in couple of minutes...

OR
u could use a good cd burning software such as nero..to do it..

oh i forgot u need to put a blank cd too in ur cd-writer..before clicking next on the wizard..lol..jus joking.u can figure that part urself..

Answer 5

Okay, first of all, do you have a cd-writer or dvd-writer?
If you do, then you'll need a program to burn the data onto the cd like, eg: Nero or some programs. You can go to download.com to find for the burner programmes.. :)

Answer 6

If your are using XP just get a cd burner and copy it onto a cd. If you are not then use this program 'Nero' u can find it at www.download.com

Answer 7

Try to download Nero 7 free trial since you have to do this once. It should work. I'm guessing you've been trying to do this with Windows Explorer. It sucks.
