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 installed in Dell computers do not support HD-DVD media.

To copy a CD or DVD:
• 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 .
• 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.
