Righty-ho

I've got my PC, which has a CD Rom drive...
because it'a ll new age and that :D

I also have a little box called a CD rewriter

If I manage to find out how to plud the rewriter into my PC,
will it copy the contents of 1 CD to another

and if so, which CD goes in which comaprtment? :)

very hi-tech there vegy - my computer still has a tape drive :)

the cdr is presty simple to install. (windows should auto-insatall drivers).

you need to put the origional in the CD drive
and a blank CDR in the CD writer drive.

get yourself 'nero' CD writer software, and there is a 'copy CD' and there you go - easy as a drunk essex girl.

Windows XP has it's own writing software, just cut'n'paste as normal.

nero is pretty good software and musicmatch jukebox is a nice bit of kit.
i know i'm going to regret this but your new rewriter is it an internal or external drive?

Vegy.
This has been troubling me since the start of this thread. Are you taking the :pss or do you really not know how to copy CD's? :)

I've never done it before...

I don't want to record over what Mat has sent me...

and my rewriter didn't come with instructions
as I think the father-in-law got it off the back of a lorry? :)

Look on the CD writer it'll have a make & model. Go to the manufacturers site and download the manual. You may find that help :mover

If it's external it'll be USB or firewire. Cables are about £5-£10 (You can buy an iternal DVD rewriter for £25 Ooo )

I hagve located the CD Rewriter... :D

It says Freecom Classic Series CD-RW 4x4x6 USB

Do you reckon a Nokia Phone Charge Plug
will go in the Rewriter??? They look similar!

If it needs power you need the correct voltage, and especially the Amps. It'll be cheaper buy a DVD rewriter than the power cord.

Here's the manual http://www.freecom.com/objects/00002523.pdf
