Making Data CDs Using
Easy CD Creator
In This Chapter
A data CD is a compact disc (CD) used for storing computer data.
With Easy CD Creator, you can make your own data CD by record-
ing any files and folders stored on your hard disk.
Here are just some of the things you should know about a data CD:
■ Unlike a music CD, a data CD is used for data storage only and
cannot be played on your home or car stereo CD player.
■ A data CD can typically hold up to 650 MB of data if you have
a blank 74-minute CD-R or CD-RW disc, and 700 MB of data if
you have a blank 80-minute CD-R disc.
