or drag and drop data into the
Disc Content window, see Figure 1.
Figure 1: Disc Content
NOTE:You might see data
from previous writes to the CD
show up in window, but 'faded'
to represent data already
written to the media.
This brings up the "Select Files and Folders" window. Highlight those files
and folders you wish to add, and click Add
. Hold down the
Shift
key to select all the files, or hold down the Ctrl
key to select
individual files, see Figure 2.

Click Finished
button once all the Files and
Folders have been selected.
This will bring back the "Disc Content" window. This window will show how
much space write operation will use. Click Next
to move on
to the next step, or click More
for additional options, see Figure 3.

Selecting More
will bring a drop down window that will
allow some limited control over the files and directories date
and time settings. Click Next
to continue the burn process after having made the adjustments, see Figure 3.
NOTE:The new data you have
added will show up in dark
black. Old data will continue to
show up as faded.
This brings up the "Final Burn Settings" window.
Some choices have to made here, see Figure 4:
Select the Recording device.
Provide the Disc you are about to create with a name.
Set the Write Speed.
Decide if the CD will be Multisession, enable this feature to allow all
data that will be written to this CD, now and later, to be seen. If it's not enabled,
only the data last written to the CD will be seen when mounted.
Choosing "Verify data on disc after burning" verifies data was written to
CD correctly. Always enable this aspect for critical data that you can not afford to
loose.
Click More
after selections have been made for additional advanced
configuration capabilities. Or click Burn
to begin the Write operation to the
CD.
Selecting "Burn", will go to the final step.
Selecting "More" option, will bring a drop down window for more added
control of the write method used, see Figure 4.
Write Method: If you have the option for "Allow files to be added later" enabled, as shown
earlier in this docment, will be pre-set to Track-At-Once mode and you will not be
able to select any other option.
Finalize Disc: Selecting this feature will close the disc to any future writting.
Determine maximum speed: The speed test determines how quickly the compiled files
can be accessed. If the access speed is slower than the burning speed, the burning speed
is reduced so as to avoid a buffer underrun.
Simulation: The simulation runs all the steps involved in burning a disc apart from
activating the laser, so that you can assume that if the simulation is successful, the
burning process will also be successful. And avoid the possibility of wasting media if it
were to fail.
Write: This checkbox enables the actual physical burning process.

Selecting the "Burn" option when there is no recordable media in the
recorder at the time, will bring up a window requesting a blank CD-
R or CD-RW media to be inserted in the Recorder. Insert a blank disc and
Nero Express will detect it and begin burning automatically.
Nero Express then begins the burn process, see Figure 5.

This brings up the Burning Process window. If any error messages are received during the write and/or the write fails, be sure to Save the Nero log file to the desktop. This file will have critical information about the system, as well as a very detailed description of the write process that was attempted. And it will provide exact error codes that will help the Technical Support team to trouble-shoot the issue. Without this file, we may not be able to properly assist in resolving the issues.
If the write process was a success. Click Next
to continue.
This brings us to the completion of the Audio write process. Here you can choose to Burn the same project again
; start a New project
; launch the Cover Designer
to create a label; Save project
;or Exit
the Nero Express program, see Figure 7.
