you can just dragNdrop em like that?
you sure that will work, and will i need to format the disc first. that just seems like it wouldnt work to me do you do this? -so then each folder would be an album? i know wit NERO you can use InCD to format a CD-RW and then you can throw files on and off but im using CD-R so let me get this straight youre talkin bout in MY_COMPUTER the E:/drive will show the disc and i just drag the folders onto that??? |

if you're using nero it's simple. doesn't make any difference if you're using a cd-r or a cd-rw, so long as it's blank/empty.
it's the same concept as making a regular music cd, except you've got a lot more songs to drag and drop over. you can create files to drag and drop over OR you can drag all the songs over, then create the files and organize it that way [which ever you please] ------------------------------------- if you want to use the windows xp burner, open up my computer and then just drag and drop the files you want onto your cdburner [you said it e:\ right?\] once you drag some files over, a little thing will appear in your taskbar telling you that you've got files to burn. just ignore that as it will just open the window and show you the files you've selected. keep on dragging and dropping the rest of the files/folders you want. same rules as nero, you can drag everything first and then put it in files, or you can put it in files first. it sounds more confusing than it really is. umm.. if you need more help feel free to msn me. :) [email protected] |

so all this talk bout dragNdrop is to be done in NERO; and....
...not on the desktop like this... Quote:

The ISO specifications for CDs require an "index" of sorts at the beginning of the disk. With a CD-R You cannot re-write over this index. As said, you can burn the data and just leave it as-is without the index and put it in later, but then you don't have an ISO-certified CD and it probably won't be useable on most systems. Furthermore, the CD-RW comment about "using it like a harddrive" is wrong. A CD-RW is NOT a block device and therefore doesn't have the functionality of a harddrive. At best, what I've found is that you can add to it nonstop (until it's full) because it'll just rewrite over it, but to delete files you'd have to rewrite over ever sector after the deleted file as well, because it doesn't deal to well with segmented files AFAIK. So no, it's not like a hard drive because you need some sort of burning program in order to write to the disk. |
