14 Setting Up and Using Your Computer
Copying CDs and DVDs
NOTE: Please observe all copyright laws when creating CDs or DVDs.
This section applies only to computers that have a CD-RW, DVD+/-RW, or CD-RW/DVD (combo)
drive.
NOTE: The types of CD or DVD drives offered by Dell may vary by country.
The following instructions explain how to make an exact copy of a CD or DVD. You can also use Sonic
DigitalMedia for other purposes, such as creating music CDs from audio files stored on your computer or
backing up important data. For help, open Sonic DigitalMedia and then click the question mark icon in
the upper-right corner of the window.
How to Copy a CD or DVD
NOTE: CD-RW/DVD combo drives cannot write to DVD media. If you have a CD-RW/DVD combo drive and you
experience recording problems, check for available software patches on the Sonic support website at
www.sonic.com.
The DVD-writable drives installed in Dell
computers can write to and read DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW
and DVD+R DL (dual layer) media, but cannot write to and may not read DVD-RAM or DVD-R DL
media.
NOTE: Most commercial DVDs have copyright protection and cannot be copied using Sonic DigitalMedia.

To copy the CD or DVD:
If you have one CD or DVD drive
, ensure that the settings are correct and click the
Disc Copy
button. The computer will read your source CD or DVD and copy the data to a temporary folder
on your computer hard drive.
When prompted, insert a blank CD or DVD into the drive and click
OK
.
If you have two CD or DVD drives
, select the drive into which you have inserted your source CD or
DVD and click the
Disc
Copy
button. The computer copies the data from the source CD or DVD
to the blank CD or DVD.
Once you have finished copying the source CD or DVD, the CD or DVD that you have created will
automatically eject.
Using Blank CDs and DVDs
CD-RW drives can write to CD recording media only (including high-speed CD-RW) while
DVD-writable drives can write to both CD and DVD recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After creating a CD-R, you cannot
write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic documentation for more information). Use blank CD-RWs to
write to CDs or to erase, rewrite, or update data on CDs.
