The Answer
It depends on the brand of CD-RW you own. Many will
activate the proper programs if you paste your files to the CD-RW through
Windows Explorer. So insert a new blank CD (by inserting the blank
CD it may trigger the format program because you need to format it first
before you write to it). Go to the Start button -> Programs ->
Windows Explorer. Now to test it copy, a file from your hard drive
and past it to the CD-RW drive. This should activate the program to
format the blank CDR so you will be able to write to it. If not, there
should be a program on your computer that will format the blank CDR and
write data to it. This software should have come pre-installed if
your PC is new. If not, you will need to find out what brand of CD-RW
you have so you can download the necessary files and drivers from the manufacturer.
