Recording CDs

There is a Smart and Friendly Deluxe 426 Internal CD-RW drive located on Mason for burning your own CDs. This can be done for local files as well as files from another networked machine.

Some things to know before you start:

1. Use only 4x rated CD-R Media
   • If the media is not rated at least at this speed, there may be errors in recording your disc.
2. CD-R media can only be written in one session.
   • If you don't fill up the disc you can not go back another time and continue writing to it.
3. CD-RW media can only be read by CD-RW drives and some DVD drives.
   • If you wish to make a disc that can be read on any standard CD-ROM drive, use only CD-R media.
4. Do not violate any copyright laws when making CDs
   • The CSB Core does not assume any responsibility for any copyright infringement occurred by the user.

Instructions for making DATA CDs:

1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc in the CD-RW drive on Mason.
2. Under the "Start" menu, choose "Programs -> Utility Programs -> Easy CD Creator Deluxe" or click the "Easy CD Creator Deluxe" Icon from the Tool Bar.
3. Select "Data CD" from the Wizard.
4. Select the folders/files you wish to write to the CD from the available local and network drives.
5. Decide if you wish to perform the Test. (Not really necessary)
6. Press "Finish" to create the CD. The drive will eject the CD when its done.

If you leave Mason while you are writing a CD, leave a note on the computer so another user doesn't stop your writing process.
