General tips Burning CD's

Submitted by Cheryl

If you are burning cd's protecting your data for what you think is years to come, I have learned that you shouldn't be putting those sticky labels on the Cd's.

After doing some research online, wanting to know how long a Cd is really going to last, I found that many Cd's with the labels will go bad after 2 - 10 years. If you are savings photos, this means you will loose them at some point.

I found that you should only write on the cd's with a black felt tip pen, store then in a case, and in a dry place where they can last up to 100 years! Or so it is thought......

I have also read that the sticky labels can sometimes turn up at the edges and can possibly cause the CD to explodes inside the CD Drive.
