Creating discs
Recording to optical discs
You can use the disc burning program on your computer to
copy tracks from a music CD to your hard drive, copy or create
data discs, create music CDs, create video DVDs, and more. For
more information about creating CDs and DVDs, see your
online User Guide.
Creating audio and video files
You can create audio and music files, either from scratch or
from music CDs. You can also create video files from home
video. For more information, see your online User Guide.
Copying optical discs
You can copy optical discs to make backups of your data. For
more information, see your online User Guide.
Using the memory card reader
You can use the optional memory card reader to transfer
pictures from a digital camera to your computer. You can also
use the memory card reader to transfer data between your
computer and a device that uses memory cards, such as a PDA,
MP3 player, or cellular telephone.
Memory card types
The memory card reader supports several memory card types.
To determine which types are supported by your card reader
and the slots to use for each type of card, examine the face
plate of the reader. Each slot is assigned a different drive letter
(for example, E: and F:), so data can be transferred from one
memory card type to another.
