Putting the old drive into the new computer will work great. The new drive will be in My Computer. Just turn them off, and unplug the power before you open the cases. If you are unfamiliar with computer hardware search online for pics on what to do.

What is the difference between writing a CD and burning a CD?

To "burn" a CD is to imprint information on it, creating a new, useful CD from a formerly blank one. The information could be newly created on the computer and "saved" to the CD through "burning." Typically, "copy" means to duplicate information from one CD onto another through the "burning" process. Both terms are used fairly loosely. The term "burning" is derived from the concept that a laser creates microscopic imperfections in a layer of the CD below the top protective film, a process similar to burning with a torch, though on an incredibly small scale.

Can you download a programme to a CD to place on another computer?

If you are downloading a setup file for an installation of a program, the simplest way to transfer it to another computer is to burn (or use a USB drive) the setup.exe to a disc and then copy it to the destination computer. If you mean taking already installed program files and burning them to disc, I've never tried that before. There might be some sort of compiler that can do it though.


Does burning CD's take space from my computer?

If you are ripping CDs to your hard drive and then burning, yes, it would take away "space" (some of the memory) because the files are going into your computer first. If you are creating content on your computer and then burning, you'd already have the content in your memory. The physical act of burning the CD (not counting where the content is stored) will use some of your virtual memory and CPU. This is a temporary thing and would stop when your CD is done. So, if you're burning a CD, playing AfterLife and trying to do your taxes at the same time, your computer is going to slow down to a crawl.
