Windows XP Burning Data Disc

Burning a data disc under Windows XP is to copy the file to be burned to the drive where the image is stored, and then make it into a mirror and then burn it. This process seems complicated, but Windowx XP has made all the preparations for us. We just need to add the files to be burned to the list of CDs by "copy-paste", drag and drop files or add files. Just fine.

us through the following two examples to explain the specific operation and look to burn data CDs under Windows XP advantages and disadvantages.

The first example: There are now some BMP image files to be burned to the disc. I burned a file for the first time, but after burning it, I found that the file was a bit wrong, so after I modified it, I burned the file with the same name and burned the rest of the file. Now let's take a look at the process of operation.

1. Drag and drop "1.bmp" onto the recorder. At this point, a shortcut to the file we want to burn will appear on the recorder's disc.

2, left click on the "CD Writing Tasks" box "Write these files to CD". Windows XP will open the CD Write Wizard.

3, the input disc in the "CD Name" in the name and press "Next" to continue.

4, a little more than 1MB file only rarely, writer and soon to complete the burning process has been completed and the emergence of tips. At this time, if you want to burn more than one same disc, check "Yes, write these files to another CD". After

completed our open the properties burner to burn the disc after a good look at the rest of the capacity.

Although this file is only 1.37MB, it still has 632MB after burning, using 656-632=24MB. After subtracting 1.37MB of the file, it is probably a waste of 22MB. This value is very similar to the multi-session writing method. Is Windows XP burning this way?

5, after burning I found this file a bit wrong, we immediately modified it and wanted to burn it back to the disc. When we press the "DEL" button to delete the "1.bmp" file on the disc, an error occurs. Obviously, under Windows XP, the recorded file cannot be selectively deleted. But we can override it with the same filename.

7. After the burning is finished, let's take a look at the remaining capacity of the disc.

It was found that using the same easy file to overwrite the original file still used 632-617=15MB, wasting about 13MB. The waste of space is more and more like a multi-session write. Is it right?

8. Burn all the rest of our files onto the disc.

9, after the completion of the installation CD to get the Nero Burning - Rom of the computer watching the situation in use.

The results confirmed that the multi-session method was used to burn. The above process formed three segments. So can this multi-session disc continue to be added by other burning files? The answer is no! It’s a pity.

second example: the hands of more than 600 MB of data to be burned, as long as a burn on the line.

1, the drag and drop files to be burned onto both recorder and click on "CD Writing Tasks" box "Write these files to CD".

2, the number of files to be burned is very large, and the total capacity is more than 600 MB. At this time, Windows XP enters the long CD image addition process... It is expected to be about 60 minutes. Although it only took more than 20 minutes, it was quite a long time. In addition, the 7 minutes used to burn at 12 times speed shared nearly 30 minutes, compared with 8 minutes using Nero, the speed difference is quite a lot.

From the above practice, we can conclude that Windows XP is a multi-session method for writing data discs. It is not the UDF method that people thought before. I believe that most people will be disappointed. Now! Since the file is copied to the drive holding the image each time it is burned, the speed becomes extremely slow if the number of files is extremely large and the capacity is large. With such a convenience, will you choose it?
