No matter which method you choose, a progress
window appears, showing the disc burner’s prog-
ress. When the progress window disappears,
Windows has finished burning the disc.
5. Close your disc-burning session by ejecting
the disc.
When you’re through copying files to the disc,
push your drive’s Eject button (or right-click the
drive’s icon in File Explorer and choose Eject).
If you try to copy a large batch of files to a
disc— more than will fit — Windows 8 com-
plains immediately. Copy fewer files at a time,
perhaps spacing them out over two discs.
Most programs let you save files directly to
disc. Choose Save from the File menu and select
your CD burner. Put a disc (preferably one
that’s not already filled) into your disc drive to
start the process.
