Karen, The Mac does not represent devices with letters or such. All removable media such as CDROM, external USB and/or Firewire drives and network drives are represented by icons that appear on the desktop when mounted. So, as Jane mentioned, there should be an icon on the desktop probably called "Untitled CD" that you can copy items into if the CD is in fact writable. Here's what should happen for you:
1. When you put in a blank CD, The computer will come up with a dialog that asks you what you'd like to do. There's a pup-up menu where you have some options to choose from, choose "Open Finder". This message will not come up if you have installed some other burning software such as Toast or have already told it to always do some sort of action. 2. Assuming that the message appeared, after you click OK you will be taken to the Finder where an icon called Untitled Cd will be waiting for you. If there is not, then it may not be a writable CD, you may have clicked the "Ignore" button, another burning software may have taken control or horror of all horrors, you could have a hardware issue. 3. If the "Untitled CD" appears, then life is good and you should be able to drag items to it just like you would drag items to any folder on the Mac. If it does not let you drop files onto the CD, then the CD is most likeyly not writable at this time. You could then find another CD, or if it is a CDRW, you could erase it using Disk Utility and reuse it for this action. 4. Once you are ready to burn the CD, you can either eject it at which time the computer will ask you if you'd like to burn it or you can go under the File menu and tell it to burn the CD. Hope this helps. Later... Tim Kilburn FACTS Department Head Father Mercredi Community High School Fort McMurray, AB Canada (780) 799-5725
