Student Data Disks

• To put Student Data Disk files on removable media:
  • Prepare your target media:
    • For diskette, flash drive, zip drive, or any other pre-formatted FAT file system volume, just insert the media.
    • For CD-R or CD-RW, insert the disk and then format it with Roxio DirectCD, Nero InCD, Sonic or IBM DLA (Drive Letter Access), or another UDF packet writing program.
      • Warning: On a CD-RW, performing a "Full Format" (vs. "Quick Format") can take up to three hours,depending on the speed of the drive and the size of your media.
  • Note the drive letter of your target media (e.g., A, D, E, F, etc.)
