what exactly is a cd burner, is it a system or a thing u have to plug into ur computer?

Answer 1

there are different kinds ...most laptops and new computers just come with them but you can by separate ones that you plug in to the electric outlet and the USB port (the same kinda plug your mouse goes into) Its kinda like a disc drive you put the blank cd or dvd in and then use your computer to burn whatever music videos files etc you want it's pretty easy...

Answer 2

.
A CD (drive E:) burner is an extra computer device
used to make CDs off of the information on your computer that you select
or can copy a CD.

The CD burner physically looks like the CD tray
(Drive D:) that comes with your computer, where you drop in a CD to upload a program.
The difference is,
Drive D can read only
Drive E can read and burn to blank CD.

So your A drive is your floppy drive
C: Drive is your computer hard drive
D: Is your drive where you put in a CD to read or upload from it to your computer C drive.
E: Is your CD BURNER drive that can both read and accept information to a blank CD

Now there is an additional drive
the DVD drive < reads DVDs
or DVD burner drive < reads and burns to blank DVD.
The drive letter depends whether you remove the CD Burner E drive
So it can replace the CD burner as E drive
or if your machine has enough front slots
you can add it in as a F drive.
