Creating a project and writing it to a CD or DVD
You can save files before writing them and return to them at a later date. See
the next procedure when you want to copy from one CD to another CD, for
example copy the CD contents to your computer first.
To create a project and write it
1 Click Launch ! Applications ! Multimedia ! DVD Writer.
2 Click Show existing projects.
3 Click New project.
4 Type a name for the CD or DVD in the Volume ID box.
5 Enable the Music CD or MP3 CD or Data disc option to indicate the type of
files to be copied to the CD or DVD.
6 Open another Xandros File Manager window and drag-and-drop or copy
the files into the project window. Some music CDs, for example, that
contain executable files, do not allow you to copy and paste the contents.
7 Click File ! Save Project to save the project. You will then be able to
return to the project another time to add files, and so on.
8 To create the disc, click File ! Write files to disc and follow the prompts.
For example if you are copying from one CD onto another CD and you have
only one CD drive, you are prompted to insert the source disc, then the
new disc.
Copying a CD or DVD
You can copy a CD or DVD to a hard disk, copy a CD to a CD, and create an
image of the CD, for example.
If you want to listen to music on your computer, copy the music from a CD to
your computer using the first procedure that follows. Only a single track can
be played at a time. To copy an entire disc, follow the online help for the Audio
CDs panel in the Control Center.
When you copy a CD as a disc image file, called an ISO, it copies the CD as
one file to a location on your computer specified by you, and it allows you to
then create CDs with that image file.
When you burn an ISO file to a disc, it expands all the directories and copies
them onto the disc for use instead of just copying the single ISO file. It allows
you to install software from the disc.
If you want to copy software on a CD to another CD, you first copy the CD as
an ISO/disc image file to your computer, then burn the ISO file to a CD. Use
the third procedure.
