i tried to go to my computer and drag and drop it and it still wont work someone help me please!!

i have windows XP and yes i have a burning software, i can put music on the CD-R but not documents

Answer 1

I have two burners - a Samsung and a Dell.
Both burners require that in order to save data files on a CD, the user must use CD/RWs and they must first be formatted with the software that powers the burner.
With Samsung, it is Nero. With the Dell, it is Roxio.

I used CD/RWs for backups until flashdrives became available. They hold so much more, don't have to be formatted, easily transported, and the price has come way down.

CD R facilitates you to easily shop on the cd as quickly as and for all even in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, there is an yet another type of cds: CD RW, you are able to shop and delete information from it for approximately 5 to 10 situations reckoning on the extensive-unfold

Answer 3

Do you have two cd-rom drives, one being the burner? Is it E:? If not, perhaps your computer isn't 'reading' your cdrom burner drive, due to conflict, or corrupted driver files. How about going to,(WinXP), Start>Right-click on My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>click on the + sign next to CDROM>and then right-click on the actual cdrom burner's name>Properties>Driver>Update Driver

Answer 4

first, you need a cd-rw drive not just a cd-rom drive in your machine. open "my computer" and see if your optical drive says cd-rw and not cd-rom. you also need a burning software (one is usually included in the -rw drive). install the software and run it and make a "data cd" or something similar.
