CD burner question

[La Huesera]

Just got a CD burner yesterday. The only instructions that came with it were to hook the crazy thing up. My question is.. I have tried to burn some images on to a CD. When I try to open that CD, my puter tells me that I don't support that format...and tries to open them as audio. Do I need to download something? Thanks for the help. (Yes I know I should have put this on the "How to" board.. but those people over there scare me..lol)

What software program are you trying to use to burn with?? And what are you trying to burn (audio cd, backup data, movie, etc)??

I use Nero Burning ROM.

If you are gonna make a pic cd, you need to make a "data" CD.

If you are using Adaptec software, then you want to make a CD you can browse as you would a floppy drive.

Be sure you allow any software to format the CD so that it can be read by CD drives.

I agree with Riff, Nero kicks total ass, and I use it for all my burning needs. You should download it www.ahead.de and give it a try. Works wonders and the wizard makes burning a snap.
