How do I finalize a data CD on Windows XP?

Question

I've just burned a data CD on Windows XP. I want to finalize it so it can no longer be written to. What are my options?

There don't seem to be any options for finalizing when I eject the disk.

Answer 1

1. Download and run InfraRecorder

2. Insert your disc into the drive

3. Go to Actions > Fixate Disc. This will write lead-out information to prevent further data from being added to the disc

   

InfraRecorder is free, open source and portable.
