The action that you want to take is “Open Finder” - Select that and then click on “OK.” Once you do that the Blank CD will pop up onto your desktop and it should look something like this:
Next all you have to do is drag and drop the files you want to copy onto the “Untitled CD” icon on your desktop. Once you have finished selecting and moving the files you want to burn onto the cd, open the “Untitled CD” on your desktop. This will show you all the files that you selected to burn and how much space you have left on disk. You can copy as many files as you want as long as it does not go over that limit.
If you are satisfied with the contents of your disk, click on the “Burn” button at the top right hand side of the window.
Once you click on the “Burn” button you are in the starting process of burning your CD. Here it give you options to change the name of the CD and the burning speed. You can leave the speed at the default setting - in this instance we named the cd “Backup” so that I know this CD is a backup of my files. Click on “Burn” to continue and burn the CD.
The next screen shows you the progress of burning the CD.
Once the CD has completed burning, the “Untitled CD” will change to the name that you specified, and in this case it shows up on the desktop as “Backup.”
A good thing to do is to open up the CD that you just burned to verify that it did indeed burn successfully. If there is anything wrong with the files, they will not open or not all the files that you wanted to burn are actually on the CD, insert a new blank CD and start again.
Once you have checked your CD you have successfully made a backup CD of the files that you wish to save off of your computer/network drive!
