<title>Write files to a CD or DVD</title>
23
<p>You can put files onto a blank disc by using <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui>. The option to create a CD or DVD will appear in the file manager as soon as you place the CD into your CD/DVD writable driver. The file manager lets you transfer files to other computers or perform <link xref="backup-why">backups</link> by putting files onto a blank disc. To write files to a CD or DVD:</p>
26
<item><p>Place an empty disc into your CD/DVD writable drive.</p></item>
28
<p>In the <gui>Blank CD/DVD-R Disc</gui> window that appears, select <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> and click <gui>OK</gui>. The <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> folder window will open.</p>
29
<p>(You can also click on <gui>Blank CD/DVD-R Disc</gui> under <gui>Devices</gui> in the file manager sidebar.)</p>
31
<item><p>In the <gui>Disc Name</gui> field, type a name for the disc.</p></item>
32
<item><p>Drag or copy the desired files into the window.</p></item>
33
<item><p>Click <gui>Write to Disc</gui></p></item>
34
<item><p>Under <gui>Select a disc to write to</gui>, choose the blank disc.</p>
35
<p>(You could choose <gui>Image file</gui> instead. This will put the files in a <em>disc image</em>, which will be saved on your computer. You can then burn that disc image onto a blank disc at a later date.)</p></item>
36
<item><p>Click <gui>Properties</gui> if you want to adjust burning speed, the location of temporary files, and other options. The default options should be fine.</p></item>
38
<p>Click the <gui>Burn</gui> button to begin recording.</p>
39
<p>If <gui>Burn Several Copies</gui> is selected, you will be prompted for additional discs.</p>
41
<item><p>When the disc burning is complete, it will eject automatically. Choose <gui>Make More Copies</gui> or <gui>Close</gui> to exit.</p></item>

<title>If the disc wasn't burned properly</title>
46
<p>Sometimes the computer doesn't record the data correctly, and you won't be able to see the files you put onto the disc when you insert it into a computer.</p>
48
<p>In this case, try burning the disc again but use a lower burning speed, e.g. 12x rather than 48x. Burning at slower speeds is more reliable. You can choose the speed by clicking the <gui>Properties</gui> button in the <gui>CD/DVD Creator Folder</gui> window.</p>
