Here are instructions for burning a data cd, which is the kind of cd you
want to burn. I wrote them many years ago and they are specific to
Windows XP. You don't need to get a program to do what you want. Windows
XP can burn cds.
First, place the cd in the drive and close it. After closing it, hold the
left shift key down for about twenty seconds to keep a dialog from
appearing asking what you want to do.
Then, select the file or files you want to burn to cd. Now copy them to
the clipboard.
then backspace until you are at the place in My Computer where you select
the drive you want to work with. Once there, down arrow to the cd drive.
Press enter to open the drive.
Paste the files to the drive. they now appear on the drive. Nothing has
been copied to the cd yet. the files are in a temporary folder and the
contents of that folder appears on the drive.
Now, backspace once. You are again in the part of My Computer where you
select the drive.
Down arrow to the cd drive. Don't open the drive.Press the context menu
key and when the menu opens, type the letter t.that's the shortcut for
transfer. A dialog opens for naming the file if
you wish. If you don't want to do this tab to the next button and press
the space bar.
a new dialog may appear asking what kind of cd you want to make. There
are two radio buttons in this part of the dialog. down arrow to data cd.
Once you hear that this option is checked, tab to the next button and
press the space bar. Files will then start to be copied after a pause.
If you don't get the dialog asking what kind of cd you want to make, files
will be copied after a pause. In other words, after the dialog asking you
if you want to name the cd, pressing the next button will either cause the
files to start to be copied or bring up the dialog asking what kind of cd
you want to make.
After the files have finished copying, the cd drive door will open
automatically. Also, a dialog will appear asking if you want to copy the
files to another cd. If you don't want to, just tab to the finish button
and press the space bar. this closes the transfer wizard.
the files have been copied, the cd door is opened and the cd wizard is now
closed.
I should add that when you are pasting the files into the cd drive, if you
get a dialog telling you that some content can't be transfered or will be
lost, answer yes to this dialog which is asking if you want to copy the
files anyway.
