How CanI Finalize A Disc (CD-R) In Windows 7?

  • 0

I burn music files to CD-R disc. When it is ejected and I try to play it in a CD player, I get “CD has not been FINALIZED”. I can not find any instructions for FINALIZING a CD. I am a novice, so need detailed instructions.
Thanks

  1. To finalize your disc:
    Start by clicking the “My Computer” icon.
    Find the disc icon for your CD or DVD; if you gave it a name it should show up there too.
    Right click on the icon and select “Close Session.”
    A pop-up box will appear once the finalization is done. Your disc can now be safely removed from your drive.

  2. O.A.Gorden, did you use Live File System Format to burn the CD-R? If so, you just need to open My Computer, with the unclosed CD-R inserted click your CD/DVD Burner and on top toolbar click “Close session”.
    If you used a 3rd party burning program, that should be somewhere in the Help File.
