Sorry to ask such a basic question - but how to copy? [View all]

I want to transfer some files from my computer used for business over to a friend's computer.

I plan on making a series of CD's - and now I have the first CD filled almost totally to capacity.

But there is a little notice that the Files are waiting to be copied to the CD. What do I do to make the files actually become written to the CD?

PS I am using a Windows XP Sony. Since installing the Terra Bakup system, (Memeo) a while back, I haven't done copying in over eighteen months and don't remember a thing about it.
