您使用什么桌面应用程序将数据刻录到(desktop app)DVD(DVDs)、CD 或蓝光光盘(CDs or Blu-Ray discs)？如果您正在考虑Nero、Roxio、Power2Go或任何其他适用于Windows的(Windows)第三方应用程序(party application)，您可能想知道您的操作系统中(operating system)还内置了一个免费选项。文件资源管理器(File Explorer)和Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)都能够将数据刻录到 CD、DVD 或蓝光光盘(DVD or Blu-ray discs)。停止下载(Stop downloading)，安装或（不寒而栗）为第三方软件付费；相反，请继续阅读以了解如何使用 Windows 提供的内置工具：
注意：(NOTE:)本指南适用于所有现代版本的Windows：Windows 10、Windows 7和Windows 8.1。由于Windows 10是最新版本，并且所有Windows版本的刻录光盘过程基本相同，因此在本指南中，我们主要使用在Windows 10中截取的屏幕截图。但是，在需要时，我们还包括来自Windows 7和Windows 8.1的屏幕截图。
如何启动光盘刻录过程(disc burning process)
要开始刻录，您需要将空白或可重写光盘插入光驱。光盘启动后，Windows 会识别它并询问您想要做什么。自动播放(AutoPlay)提示在不同版本的 Windows 中看起来不同，但(Windows)提供的选项相似。
这是它在Windows 10(Windows 10)中的样子：
这是它在 Windows 7 中的外观：
此外，这是它在Windows 8.1中的外观：
单击或点击“将文件刻录到光盘”。("Burn files to disc.")如果您禁用了自动播放(AutoPlay)，您将看不到上面显示的弹出窗口。相反，您必须打开File/Windows Explorer并在Windows 10的“此 PC”部分或("This PC")Windows 7或 Windows 8.1的“计算机( Computer)”部分中双击（或点击）您的磁盘驱动器。
您会看到一个对话框，它为您提供了两个用于刻录光盘的选项。
根据您打算如何使用成品进行选择：
-
像 USB 闪存驱动器(Like a USB Flash Drive)- 这使用实时文件系统刻录光盘，它允许您像在闪存驱动器上一样随意添加或删除文件。以这种方式刻录的光盘只能在运行 Windows 的计算机上使用。
-
With a CD/DVD Player- 此选项会刻录您的文件并关闭光盘，使其可以在 CD/DVD 播放器或任何其他计算机上播放。光盘关闭后仍然可以添加文件，但您将无法删除已刻录的文件。
如何刻录光盘以便像USB 闪存(USB flash)驱动器一样使用
如果您选择刻录可以随意添加或删除文件的光盘，请选择“像 USB 闪存驱动器”("Like a USB flash drive")，然后单击或点击下一步。(Next.)Windows 需要一些时间来格式化驱动器。根据您要刻录的光盘类型，此过程可能需要一段时间。这适用于普通光盘和可重写光盘。
正确格式化光盘后，您可以使用File/Windows Explorer打开光盘。当您查看其根位置(root location)时，您会看到一条消息：“将文件拖到此文件夹以将它们添加到光盘。”("Drag files to this folder to add them to the disc.")
找到您要刻录的文件或文件夹，然后将它们拖放到光盘或复制(disc or copy)并粘贴它们。添加文件时，它们会自动刻录到光盘中。
文件复制对话框(file copying dialogue)显示光盘刻录操作(disc burning operation)的状态。
将文件刻录到光盘后，如果需要，您可以继续删除它们。只需(Just)选择一个文件，右键单击（或按住(press and hold)）并点击删除。(Delete.)
在Windows 10和Windows 8.1中，您还可以使用功能区主页(Home)选项卡上的删除(Delete)按钮。当询问您是否确定要永久删除文件时，单击或点击(click or tap)是。(Yes.)
从光盘中删除的文件不会发送到您的回收站(Recycle Bin)。删除后它们真的消失了。当您完成从光盘中添加或删除文件后，您应该关闭您的会话。这使您可以取出光盘并继续使用它，就像另一台计算机上的闪存驱动器一样。继续阅读以了解它是如何完成的。
如何在Windows 10和 Windows 8.1中关闭光盘刻录会话
在“文件资源管理器(File Explorer)”窗口中，转到您刚刚刻录的光盘的根目录，然后取消选择您可能突出显示的所有文件或文件夹。接下来，单击或点击功能区上的管理(Manage)选项卡，然后在媒体(Media)组中单击或点击弹出。(Eject)
将显示一条通知，表明Windows正在准备弹出光盘。等待(Wait)会话关闭。
每次关闭会话时，大约会使用光盘中的 20 MB 数据。此外，Windows 10 和Windows 8.1都没有提供关闭会话而不弹出光盘的选项。
如何在Windows 7中关闭光盘刻录会话(Windows 7)
您有两个选项可以在Windows 7中关闭刻录会话(burning session)。如果您想在关闭会话后将光盘保留在驱动器中，请单击Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)窗口顶部的“关闭会话” 。("Close session,")
如果您打算在完成后取出光盘，请单击弹出。(Eject.)
即使您单击“弹出”，(Eject,) Windows 7 也会在释放光盘之前关闭您的会话
阅读本指南的下一页，了解如何刻录光盘以用于CD 或 DVD 播放器(CD or DVD player)、如何将文件和文件夹添加到已完成的光盘、如何删除等待刻录在光盘上的临时文件以及如何擦除重新- 可写CD/DVD discs。
How to burn discs in Windows, using File Explorer or Windows Explorer
What desktop аpp do you use to burn уour data tо DVDs, CDs or Blu-Ray discs? If you are thinking Nero, Roxio, Power2Go or any other third party application for Windows, you mіght be interested to know that you also have a free option built right into your operating system. Both File Explorer and Windows Explorer have the ability to burn data to CD, DVD or Blu-ray discs. Stop downloading, installing or (shudder) paying for third-party software; instead, read on to learn how to use the built-in tools that are made available by Windows:
NOTE: This guide is for all modern versions of Windows: Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Because Windows 10 is the newest version and because the process of burning discs is mostly the same in all Windows versions, throughout this guide we use screenshots taken mainly in Windows 10. However, when needed, we also include screenshots from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
How to start the disc burning process
To get the burning started, you need to insert a blank or rewritable disc into your disc drive. Once the disc spins up, Windows recognizes it and ask what you want to do. The AutoPlay prompt looks different in different versions of Windows, but the options provided are similar.
This is what it looks like in Windows 10:
Here's how it looks in Windows 7:
Moreover, here's how it looks in Windows 8.1:
Click or tap "Burn files to disc." If you have AutoPlay disabled, you will not see the pop-ups shown above. Instead, you have to open File/Windows Explorer and double-click (or tap) your disc drive in the "This PC" section from Windows 10, or in the Computer section from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
You are greeted by a dialog that gives you two options for burning your disc.
Make your selection depending on how you intend to use the finished product:
-
Like a USB Flash Drive - This burns the disc using the Live File System, which allows you to add or remove files at will like you would on a flash drive. Discs burned in this manner are only usable on computers running Windows.
-
With a CD/DVD Player - This options burns your files and closes the disc allowing it to be played in a CD/DVD player or on any other computer. Files can still be added after the disc is closed, but you will not be able to remove the files that are already burned.
How to burn discs for use like a USB flash drive
If you opt to burn a disc on which files can be added to or removed from at will, select "Like a USB flash drive" and click or tap Next. Windows will take some time to format the drive. Depending on the type of disc you want to burn, this process can take a while. This will work on both normal discs and rewritable discs.
Once the disc is formatted properly, you can use File/Windows Explorer to open the disc. When you look at its root location, you see a message that says: "Drag files to this folder to add them to the disc."
Find the files or folders you want to burn and either drag and drop them to the disc or copy and paste them. When you add files, they are automatically burned to the disc.
The file copying dialogue shows the status of the disc burning operation.
Once files are burned to the disc, you can go ahead and remove them if needed. Just select a file, right-click (or press and hold) and hit Delete.
In Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, you can also use the Delete button found on the ribbon, on the Home tab. When asked if you are certain that you want to permanently remove the file, click or tap Yes.
The files deleted from a disc are not sent to your Recycle Bin. They are truly gone after the deletion. When you have finished adding or removing files from your disc, you should close your session. This allows you to remove the disc and continue using it like a flash drive on another computer. Read on to learn how it is done.
How to close a disc burning session in Windows 10 and Windows 8.1
In the File Explorer window, go to the root of the disc you just burned and deselect any files or folders you may have highlighted. Next, click or tap the Manage tab on the ribbon and then click or tap Eject, in the Media group.
A notification is shown, that Windows is preparing to eject the disc. Wait for the session to be closed.
Each time you close a session, approximately 20 MB of data is used from your disc. Also, neither Windows 10 nor Windows 8.1 provides the option to close the session without ejecting the disc.
How to close a disc burning session in Windows 7
You have two options to close a burning session in Windows 7. If you want to keep the disc in the drive after closing the session, click "Close session," on the top of the Windows Explorer window.
If you intend to remove the disc after completion, click Eject.
Even when you click Eject, Windows 7 will close your session before releasing the disc
