blank disc.
2 Click Start, and then click My Computer.

(erase). You must select the quick format for all
CD-R or DVD+R discs. You must select the full
format for a CD-RW or a DVD+RW disc the first

7 Click Yes to the message that all files on the
disc will be erased.
8 Click OK.
When the disc formatting is complete,
you can copy your files directly to the disc
in My Computer by:

Dragging a file from a Windows Explorer
window to your drive icon.
Or

disc into your drive, right-click the DVD Writer/
CD Writer drive icon, and then select Make
Compatible.
