I have one   question


when a  person use  easy media  creator- data disk--- there is  really no thing  as a  true  cut and  paste

you can  cut   from a hard  drive  folder- with   files you  what to  save to data  disk  by pasting---- but the  files  on hard  drive  are really never  deleted- there are still there




I guess a person has to delete them after he  make a  data   disk

I though that one would cut  from hard  drive and it would disappear there and then paste  to  cd--
but I guess it  does not work that  way

No, it doesn't.

That's a Windows feature and what you're really doing is making a Copy on the data disk. Imagine how happy you'd be if you had cut and pasted and then found out that the information wasn't really copied to the data disk.

I sometimes move the information that I want to put on a data disk to a new folder on the desktop. Then all the files I want to copy to the data disk are in one place and it's easy to delete that folder after I've written the disk and verified that the information is actually on the disk.

Good idea.

Just remember that if you're writing files ( pictures, irreplaceable files) most of us recommend a second method of storage like (but not limited to) an external hard drive or online storage.

No media is guaranteed to last forever and sometimes become unreadable.  

At the very least, you should burn 2 copies of a CD/DVD and store one in another offsite location.
