Beginners Guides: Burning CDs and DVDs Part 2

Published by

PC Stats have thrown up part 2 of their beginners guide to Burning CDs and DVDs, in part 2 they look at CDROMs, audio CDs, and how to create ISOs for backup of your files! Here's a snip.

In this article, PCstats will continue its look at recordable optical media, or in other words, CD Writers. We will expand from our previous guide on "Optical Drives & Recording Formats" to discuss different recordable CD options work, and walk you through the steps to create an ISO file or disk image for burning. We'll also touch upon burning MP3 or audio data onto a CD-R/RW with an eye towards creating audio and MP3 CDs, and much, much more. So, let's get started!

For this guide we are going to use a Windows XP system with Nero CD-creation software for our examples. The information will be applicable to other burning software, however.
