Making Data Discs Using DirectCD
Copying Files to a CD-R Disc for the First Time
Before you can copy files to a CD-R disc, you must format it.
Note: The Format CD button is not available for a previously
formatted CD-R disc.
To format a CD-R disc:
1 Insert a blank CD-R disc into your CD-Recorder.
2 From the Select CD drop-down list box on the DirectCD main
window, select the CD-Recorder that has the CD you want to
format.
3 Click Format CD. The Format dialog box appears.
4 In the Label text box, type a name to identify your CD.
The CD label can be up to 11 characters. You cannot use the
following characters in a label: \ / : ; * ? " < > | + = . , [ ].
If you are formatting a CD-R disc, you have no Format Type
options available and the formatting takes 15 to 30 seconds.
5 Click Start Format. CD formatting begins and a progress
dialog box appears.
You can do other tasks on your computer while the CD is being
formatted. The CD Ready dialog box appears when formatting
is complete.
6 Click OK. The CD is ready for you to copy files to. See Copying
Methods on page 59.
