    Hi nqobizitha,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

     

     

    We would like to get more information from you, to help troubleshoot your issue. Please answer the following questions as best you can.

     

    ·         What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

     

    If your computer includes a CD or DVD recorder, you can copy files to a writeable disc. This process is called burning a disc. By default, Windows burns discs in the Live File System format, but you can also choose to burn discs in the Mastered format.

     

    Note

    You can use Windows to burn a data disc, which is useful for storing, archiving, and sharing files among different computers. If you want to make a disc that will play in a music or video player, you should burn the disc using a music or video program.

     

    Choose the Mastered format when you need a highly compatible disc that will play in computers with an older version of Windows or in media devices such as CD and DVD players that can read digital music and video files. For more information about choosing a disc format, see Which CD or DVD format should I use?

     

    1. Insert a writeable CD or DVD into your computer's CD or DVD recorder.
    2. In the dialog box that appears, click Burn files to data disc.
    3. In the Burn a Disc dialog box, type a name for this disc, and then click Show formatting options.
    4. Click Mastered, and then click Next.

    An empty disc folder opens.

    1. Open the folder that contains the files you want to burn, and then drag the files into the empty disc folder.
    2. On the toolbar, click Burn to disc.

     

    The selected files are copied to the disc. When the disc burning is complete, the disc burner tray will open and you can remove the disc. You can now use the disc in another computer or media device. This type of disc does not need to be closed.
