Creating and copying data discs
You can burn two types of data discs:
•
Live File System
writes files immediately to the recordable disc, making it a one-step
process like copying files to a flash drive. Windows XP and later versions of Windows
support this feature.
•
Mastered
copies files to a temporary folder before you tell the computer to burn the files
to the disc. Although this is a slower process than Live File System, the resulting disc is
compatible with all operating systems.
The instructions below show you how to burn a disc using the Mastered format, which can be
read by all personal computers, regardless of the operating system installed.
