Burn a CD/DVD on Windows 7 or Vista Without Using Software


Insert a blank recordable/rewritable CD (CD-R) or DVD (DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW) disc into the CD burner drive.

With a new blank disc, Windows might pop up a prompt asking you which format you want to use (as shown on the image below).

As explained on the popup, the option "Like a USB Flash Drive" is more convenient if you want to use the disc as an external storage, which you can add or delete (rewritable disc) files on the fly; however, once the disc is formatted with this option, it can only be read on computers with Windows XP or later. On the other hand, the option "With a CD/DVD Player" is the traditional format of CD/DVD disc and is compatible with a wider range of Windows versions as well as other devices, but requires to burn the disc (or erase the entire disc) all at once.




To keep it simple, we will follow the steps to create traditional CD/DVD, so select "With a CD/DVD Player". Don't forget to change the "Disc title" to something de******ive for your disc, then click "Next".

Navigate to the folders or files which you want to burn to the disc, then select (highlight) the folders/files and click "Burn" (located above the file browsing panels)



A new window is now created similar to the following image, showing the selected files and folders added to the queue to burn to disc. Click "Burn to disc".




On the next popup "Burn to Disc", verify the disc title and select the maximum burning speed, then click "Next".



The burning wizard will start writing data to the disc and will close and eject the CD/DVD when finish
