How to Make a Data CD Using Windows
Unlike burning an audio CD, Windows users can copy audio, pictures, videos and other files to a data CD, which can hold up to 700MB of information. There is no need to convert any information, as a data CD is a storage device--it will not play in conventional CD players. The information can only be accessed by other computers. Allow several minutes for Windows to burn your data CD.
