And if you do, what do you burn?

Right now, I've burned 3 music cd's one game(Sim Golf) and one cd full of pictures.


What about you?
 
I've had an 8x4x32 Hp 9100+ for a while now.
I just backup my documents and burn my programs to cd.
 
I have whatever came with my Dell...it's a CD-R, not CD-RW drive.

I burn data...not often either. my biggest burn was about 650 mb of Mazda stuff...
 
RTFM MATT!!!

You dont play comp games in your burner, you play them in a regular cd drive thats the way they were meant to go.

Yes, I have a burner. I have a CD-RW drive too. All I know is that it's 40x. It freaking melts my games! No really, it does. I had Flight Sim 2002 and it cracked it. :-/

According to your post Matt, you had your game in your burner not your regular CD-Rom.
 
Okay, could anyone please clarify the terms they're using here?

CD-RW stands for 'Compact Disc - Re-Writable'.
A 'burner' or 'cd burner' is just another 'slang' term for a cd-writeable or cd-rewritable drive.
A CD-ROM drive is an optical drive that can only read CD's, not write them.

You can read CDs just fine in a CD-R or CD-RW drive. In fact, many bargain PC's only come with one optical drive, a CD-RW. You can copy discs with them by first copying the data to the hard drive.

Now, honestly, I have no clue what you guys are talking about.

And Concept, your drive didn't melt your disc, you did. It's called user error, if you read the manual you could probably figure out what you did wrong.

I never claimed to be a genius with computers. Actually, I have always claimed to be an idiot with them. Ignore me.
 
I've got a CD-RW. I use Roxio. I don't really burn CD's that often..I'm on the computer too long listening to my songs, so CD's are pretty useless for me.
 
Thats the 4th time you've posted 'Ignore me.' In this thread, Concept. :) Slow down man.

I have a CD-Burner (not sure if its and -R or -RW) the same as Race Idiots.

Yeah I know. They were actual posts but I realized how stupid I was and didn't think everyone else shoudl see just how dumb. SO I edited the to say "ignore me." ;)
