Pre-burned CD

Hi friends,

I do not need to buy a machine to burn CDs for my low consumption.
Please advise me if there is any possible way to buy pre-burned CDs
from any source. Preburned CDs will be used for copying all files
as back-up from the hard disk of my pc.

Thanks a lot.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. WTF do you mean by "preburned"?
Mind you, I have lots of "preburned CDs" they came with software on. And how
will your data find its way on to these "preburned CDs"?

Or are you cryptically asking if there's a company that will back up your
data for you? The answer to this is yes, lots, but it's going to cost you a
helluva lot more than a DVD burner and a pack of blank discs. A burner can be
had for £20, a pack of blank DVDs for a fiver, if you shop around.
Professional data back up could cost you hundreds, if not thousands. £25 is
peanuts even if you don't use it that much (and, IMO, data stored on PCs
should be backed up at least once a month, if not weekly).

I know what I'd do...

you must be kidding
there is no way that u will find pre-burned CD that will store your
data or that has ur data. How come u say that somebody has ur data
stored in their CD's,Unless you are willing to spend a lot of money to
let other burn it for u .Let me tell you what a pre-burned CD means, it
means that a CD which is already has some software or data in it which
is available in a market.So u need a machine that is a burned to write
all your data.ok

it makes about as much sense as asking

"I haven't got time to change my socks. Can I buy socks with feet
already in them?"

To the OP

You obviously don't understand how it works. CDs are 'burned' when you
write data to them. You can't write data to a CD unless you have a CD
burner. As CD writer drives are now just about as cheap as normal CD
readers then just buy one.

No need to buy pre-burned CDs. Just do it yourself. Buy a bunch of CD
blanks, place in microwave oven on "High" setting for 100 seconds. Voila!
Pre-burned CDs. Of course, when you run out of CDs and need another batch,
you'll probably have to buy another microwave, but hey, they're cheap.

You forgot to mention throwing a few plastic-coated metal twist ties on top of
the pile in the microwave for that special "lightscribe" effect.
