Few Precautions to Be Taken Before You Start the Burning Process:


If you are burning a CD/DVD, you should close all other programs while the CD is burning, and let the program run without interruption.

If you have the option, use the fastest system you have available (processor, disks, etc.)

In the CD/DVD Burning software, set the burn speed at or below the rated speed of the media to be used. Some people have had more success using 2X and 4X speeds on faster burners.

If you do not do this, your CD will most likely not function properly.

If you have a CD/DVD burner, your system may already have CD/DVD burning software.

If you have software, you should check with the documentation that comes with your software as well as the applicable instructions below.

If you are extracting to a hard disk, you should extract to a dedicated directory (not to the “root” of the hard disk). E.g. you should create a directory rather than using c:\ or d:\. Not that you will lose the option to boot from the cd/dvd .
