Creating Data CDs

Point to [Data] and click [Data Disc] in the operation selection list and the following window appears.

Creating an Image File on Your Hard Disk

An image file contains all the stored data that you want to write to a CD. An advantage of this is that the image file can be repeatedly written to CD, avoiding the need to compile data each time.

Point to [Data], [Music], or [Videos/Pictures], and then click the desired operation in the operation selection list.

Click [Add] and in the dialog box that appears, select the files and/or folders, tracks, or video and/or image files that are to become the image file on your hard disk. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary, and then click [Next].

With InCD 4 packet writing software, you can use CD-RWs as large data storage. Using Windows Explorer, you can drag files to a CD-RW or directly save data from any application to CD-RW (and delete it later, if necessary). Your CD-RWs become as practical as floppy disks!

InCD only supports CD-RWs. InCD formats CD-RWs in such a way that they can be used like floppy disks (i.e. files can be added or deleted from the CD-RW just as with other rewritable media). You can therefore drag files to the CD-RW from Windows Explorer or save files directly from Microsoft Word, for example. InCD starts automatically when Windows starts, and the following symbols appear on the Windows taskbar.

InCD successfully mounted the disc in the drive.

InCD detected a disc in the drive, but could not mount it.
