Copying CD, DVD, and BD Media
This section applies only to computers that have a DVD+/-RW drive or a BD-RE drive.
The following instructions explain how to make an exact copy of a CD, DVD, or BD using Roxio Creator. You can also use Roxio Creator for other purposes, such
as creating music CDs from audio files stored on your computer or backing up important data. For help, open Roxio Creator, and then press <F1>.
The DVD drives and BD drives installed in Dell computers do not support HD-DVD media. For a list of supported media formats, see Using Blank CD, DVD, and
BD Media .
How to Copy a CD, DVD, or BD
1. Click Start ® All Programs® Roxio Creator DE® Projects® Copy.
2. Click the Copy tab, and then click Copy Disc.
3. To copy the CD, DVD, or BD:
l If you have one optical drive, insert the source disc into the drive, ensure that the settings are correct, and then click the Copy Disc button to
continue. The computer reads your source disc and copies the data to a temporary folder on your computer hard drive.
When prompted, insert a blank disc into the drive and click OK.
l If you have two optical drives, select the drive into which you have inserted your source disc and click the Copy Disc button to continue. The
computer copies the data from the source disc to the blank disc.
Once you have finished copying the source disc, the disc that you have created automatically ejects.
Using Blank CD, DVD, and BD Media
DVD-writable drives can write to both CD and DVD recording media. BD-writable drives can write to CD, DVD and BD recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic documentation for
more information). Use a blank CD-RW if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
Blank DVD+/-R or BD-R media can be used to permanently store large amounts of information. After you create a DVD+/-R or BD-R, you may not be able to
write to that disc again if the disc is finalized or closed during the final stage of the disc creation process. Use a blank DVD+/-RW or BD-RE if you plan to erase,
rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
