Recording a multi-disc data project
You can record a large project to two or more discs. When the combined size of files and folders that you have added to a project exceeds the size that can fit onto a single disc (blank CD or DVD), the Status Bar at the bottom of the Project area displays the estimated project size and the number of discs required to record the project. To see estimates for different types of discs, select from the Disc Size list in the Status Bar. For more information, see Getting to know the Creator Classic window.
You record this type of project as you would a normal data disc project. When one disc is full, you are prompted to insert another blank disc until the project is completely recorded.
Note: You cannot record large projects to multiple discs using discs that already contain data. The discs should be of the same size and capacity.When you want to retrieve files and folders from your multiple disc set and copy them back to your hard disk, use the Roxio Retrieve application.
Retrieving files from a multi-disc data project
Any Multi-disc Data project that you burn to disc can be restored to your hard disk using the Roxio Retrieve application.
Caution: Large projects burned to multiple discs using Creator Classic may contain split files that were recorded across multiple discs. A split file can only be retrieved by using Roxio Retrieve. Attempting to copy a split file to your hard disk without using Roxio Retrieve results in an unusable file.To start Roxio Retrieve from a multi-disc data disc:
Insert one of the multiple discs that was recorded into your drive and allow a few moments for the disc to spin-up.
Note: If Auto-run is disabled and the Roxio Retrieve window does not appear, you can manually start Roxio Retrieve by double-clicking the Launch_Retrieve.exe file included on the disc.
