+  <p>The <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> in the file manager makes it easy to transfer files to other computers or perform <link xref="backup-why">backups</link> by putting files onto a blank disc. To write files to a CD or DVD:</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>Place an empty disc into your CD/DVD writable drive.</p></item>
+    <item><p>In the <gui>Blank CD/DVD-R Disc</gui> window that appears, select <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> and click <gui>OK</gui>. The <gui>CD/DVD Creator Folder</gui> window will open.</p></item>
+    <item><p>In the <gui>Disc Name</gui> field, type a name for the disc.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Drag or <link xref="files-copy">copy</link> the desired files into the window.</p></item>
+    <item>
+     <p>Under <gui>Select a disc to write to</gui>, choose the blank disk.</p>
+     <p>(You could choose <gui>Image file</gui> instead. This will put the files in a <em>disc image</em>, which will be saved on your computer. You can then burn that disc image onto a blank disc at a later date.)</p>
+    </item>
+    <item><p>The <gui>Properties</gui> button opens a window for adjusting burning speed, location of temporary files, and other options.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Click the <gui>Burn</gui> button to begin recording. (If <gui>Burn Several Copies</gui> is selected, you will be prompted for additional discs.) The recording progress will be displayed.</p></item>
+    <item><p>When the disc is complete, it will eject automatically. Choose <gui>Make More Copies</gui> or <gui>Close</gui> to exit.</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+<p>Sometimes, discs aren't burned correctly and you won't be able to see the files you put onto the disc when you insert it into a computer. In this case, try burning the disc again but use a lower burning speed, e.g. 12x rather than 48x. Burning at slower speeds is more reliable. You can choose the speed by clicking the <gui>Properties</gui> button in the <gui>CD/DVD Creator Folder</gui> window.</p>
