The CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of the blank CD to finalize the recording. • Use a blank CD-RW disc to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recording techniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the CD-RW disc and try again. You can also use blank CD-RW discs to test music file projects before you record the project permanently to a blank CD-R disc. • See the Roxio support website at support.roxio.com for additional helpful tips. How to Copy a CD The procedure assumes that your computer is equipped with a single CDRW drive (without an additional CD drive). If your computer is equipped with both types of drives, see the Roxio documentation for instructions on how to copy CDs from a CD drive to a CD-RW drive. 1 Click the Start button, point to All Programs→ Roxio Easy CD Creator, and then click Project Selector. The Select a Project window appears. 2 Click Disc Copier. (Disc Copier is titled "CD Copier" in some versions of Easy CD Creator Basic.) The Disc Copier window appears and displays your CD-RW drive in the Copy from and the Record to lists. 3 Insert the source CD that you want to copy into the CD-RW drive. The Disc Copier project program briefly checks the source CD in the CD-RW drive to ensure that it is a readable CD. 4 Click Copy. Depending on the size of the files that are being copied, the copy process may take a few minutes. 5 After the source CD is copied, remove the source CD from the CD-RW drive tray. The CD-RW drive tray opens automatically after the source CD is copied. 26 Setting Up and Using Yo ur Computer
