I have a lot of important stuff on an old Gateway PC.
As birthday presents I received an external DVD burner that has only FireWire input connectors and a PCI FireWire 1394 Controller Card.
Please I need step-by-step instructions to guide me with transferring the data and burn in on CD's.
My OS is Windows XP the External DVD burner is a LaCie.
The PCI card and the software that came with it (Ulead VideoStudio) are installed.
I don't know where to go from here.
Please can anyone help?
Sally

Hi syrose,

Welcome to PCHF.

You'll find copying files suprisingly easy.

- Go to the files you want to copy, using Explorer or My Computer.
- Highlight the files you want to copy. You can make multiple selections by pressing the [CTRL] key to select individual files, or the [SHIFT] key to select many.
- Right click on the highlighted section, and go to Send To, followed by your cd drive.
- Once you are finished with all the files you want to copy, instert your writeable CD.
- In my Computer, right click on your CD drive, and click on Write these files to CD.
- A wizard will then appear. Follow this wizard to the end. Make sure you close the CD if you have finished writing files to that CD, and want to use it in any PC.
