    hi everyone! i've been really frustrated because i've been trying to transfer files, particularly photos, to a cd using my satellite A135-S4527. i don't know if i got it wrong, but i got the impression that it has an already installed cd-writer,

    edit: hereis a link for a better view of the second image

    everytime i try to copy files, all i'm left to deal with are empty folders!
    i don't know what to do. is there anything i should do before i copy files to cd? like a setup or something. please, i hope someone could help me. i'm not good at technical names about computers so please, try to talk to me like i'm a three year old. ( you know what i'm saying. )

    thank you in advance. i hope the images helped.

    "image to disc" doesn't mean "pictures to disc"

    LOL. It's a common mistake a lot of people tend to make. You have the settings on so that you're trying to burn an ISO image file. This is not your typical straight outta the digital camera JPG file. An ISO image is an exact replica of a disc in a file format. I assume that's why you got the empty folders. Don't worry it's not the drive's fault. You do have a drive that can burn both CDs and DVDs.

    If you want to burn a CD, say for backing up pictures, Vista already includes a CD burning feature. You don't have to use the Toshiba tool. Here's how you burn a CD in Vista. Burn a CD or DVD
