Burn a CD on Windows XP without using software


Windows XP comes with a builtin CD-copy feature that not many people are aware of. Although almost everyone has his/her favorite CD-copy software to stick with, it is still good to know about this CDR feature from Windows XP. You will find it very useful when you come to another PC that doesn't have a CD-copy software, and you can't just install your favorite software to it. With this feature, you can write data or MP3 files to a CD/DVD.

Step I:
You need to enable the CD-R feature on Windows XP

  1. From Desktop, double-click on "My Computer".
  2. Right-click on the CD Drive and select "Properties"   



     3. Select the tab "Recording" then select the option "Enable CD recording on this drive" and select "Fastest" for the write speed.

 

  
    5.  Click "OK".
    6.  Your CD Drive is now configured with built-in CD Recording feature enabled.

 Step II:

  1. Insert a Formated-ReWritable CD or a Recordable (CD-R) disc into the CD drive.
  2. From Desktop, double-click on "My Computer".
  3. Navigate to the files/folders you want to copy to CD. Select them and press "Ctrl-c" to copy.
  4. Browse back to the CD-ROM, and press "Ctrl-V" to paste. The files/folders will show up as temporary files/folders at this time.


      5. On the left panel, select "Write these files to CD".


     6. The window "CD Writing Wizard" appears with the default CD name. Change the CD name if you wish, then click "Next".

       
     7. The "CD Writing Wizard" starts to write files/folders to the CD:

    
     8. Once the writing process is complete, the wizard will disappear and the CD-Rom will be ejected.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
