How to for folks who prefer reading:

1. Insert a CD (it holds 700MB) which is a lot of data files.( If you have a lot of videos, music or pictures, you will need to burn a DVD you must use special software, a topic for another lesson.)

2. Verify that the CD is enabled to record CDs rather than DVDs. Open My Computer. Right-click on the DVD/CD drive > Properties > select the Recording tab and check mark Enable CD recording. Say Yes on the next screen.

3. Open My Documents/My Work and select the file or folders you want to backup. Press and hold the CTRL key to select multiple ones.

4. In order to see the drives in the left pane, you may need to press the Folders button on the toolbar. Drag the selected folders over to the CD drive. They will copy.

5. Go to the CD drive and File > Write the selected files.

6. When the CD is written, the CD tray will open. Press it back in and test that the CD was
successfully written.
