[Guest Qimi]

How do you copy a file from the hard drive to a CD, using Windows XP SP2?

 

Thank you and a happy Easter.

You mean how to burn a CD? Go to Start>Help and open XP's Help & Support

function. Put in the search term "burn CD". Help & Support will walk you

through it.

Follow Malke's advice if you want to burn it to a CD.

 

If you want to drag-and-drop it to CD, it will require 3rd party

software. Unfortunately, I don't know of any freeware versions.

 

Don't believe those who steer you to DirectCD... it's very old and

won't work with your system.

If that calls up a CD burner program, fine. If not, it won't work

without 3rd-party software installed, whizzer

This is true for Drag and Drop, ie (needing a third party software), however

just a straight burn to cd, xp supports it natively, using windows explorer,

just right click on the file and select send to, then select the burner.

(Have a blank cd in the drive).
