Installing and using CD/DVD Rewriter.

Installing a DVD rewriter is normally a very simple task as most are plug and play. Basically all you have to do is plug the DVD rewiter into the back of your computer via the USB port normally. Once plugged in, it will probobly take several minutes to install itself. Before you begin to burn using your new drive you must first have some sort of software installed that will let you do so. There are several free pieces of software that allow you to burn to a CD. I find the best all round program to be Windows media player 11. It will let you view all your music, pictures, videos and allow you to play them all through the libary which helps as it catorgises your music into sections and makes it easier to find the songs you are looking for. You can also add songs videos and pictures straight from the libary into the burning que. Once you have all files and folders you like select burn and wait for 10 minutes and it will be finished. You could also use Nero. It is build for burning CD/DVD but that all it can do. It is a waste of memory to have a program just for burning but can sometimes be the only option if you need to burn complex CD/DVD. However there is a third option which is alot simpler. Alot of operating systems nowdays come with a DVD burning build straight into it. Meaning that if you wish to burn something to a CD/DVD you just right click on the file>Send to>CD rewriter.
