Using a recordable drive
You can use your CD-RW, DVD/CD-RW, or DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/CD-RW drive to
create data CDs, music CDs, or copies of CDs. You can use your
DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/CD-RW drive to create data DVDs. For more information
about your drive’s capabilities, see “Identifying drive types” on page 94.

are ideal for backing up important files such as tax records, letters, MP3s, digital
movies, or photos. For information on creating
