Initial opening screen of
the Wizard. This selection is for multisession
and data. If you desire to burn a music cd or video cd, select the
appropriate
icon from the left column. The appearance of the screen will change to
the
appropriate requirements for that process.
|
|
 |
Selection screen to start building the cd.
On the left are the two columns
for selection. Navigate with either of these until you find the folder
containing
the files that you want transferred to the cd.
|
|
 |
Showing the selection of
three folders from the right hand side to the left. As I am taking an
entire folder, I have dragged and dropped it into the
far left column. If they were just files, they would have been dropped
into
the second from the left column.
I have renamed the root folder to reflect the files that will be on
this
disk. To rename the cd, click once on the orgional cd name and then
press
F2. You can now rename the cd. I would suggest that you use names
without
spaces or special characters to give the greatest compatiblity.

After assembling the contents, click on the
burn tab (the little one at the
top with the flame. Holding the cursor over the tab will show the name
after
a short delay. Click on this to bring up this window for burning.
|
|
 |
Occasionally, you may have a name or folder
that does not follow the standards. Nero will rename it properly. If
this is ok, then click on the ok and continue.

Writing the cd. The small window shows the
steps that have been taken to
this point. It has cached the files to a single ISO file on the hard
drive,
the proceeded to burn the cd. There is a progress bar and a percentage
of buffer memory guage. This can be used to determine a problem if you
do
not complete the burn. The buffer should be 95% or above to prevent
'buffer
underrun' . If this occurs, then select a slower burn speed from the
earlier
Write window on the next try. This window shows 0% at the very first of
the burn.

 |
This window is a little
over halfway in the burn.
|
|
|
 |
|
After the burn of the data, Nero will still
have to create Lead-in and Lead-out
tracks. The buffer no longer shows a usage percentage. Note that I have
the box to check the data checked. This will verify all the files that
I
have burned to the cd.
|
|
|
 |
|
The verifying step. This checks to see that
all the files are on the cd,
that they check against the orgionals on the hard drive. This is an
optional
step, but highly recommended.
|
|
 |
Window showing that the
verification step has completed.
|
|
 |
This window shows the
final box to remove the temporary ISO file that was
created at the start. Unless you are going to create multiple copies of
the same CD, there is no need to retain these. Deleteing removes them
from
the hard drive. It does not remove the orgional files which can be used
to create another cd if you wish.
