Or, after you click "Copy" on right-click menu of Windows Explorer, you click "Paste" on right-click menu of the file-list on Create window. If you select a folder, the folder and all files in it will be added. Though it is possible to add multiple files at once, you should limit the selected files upto several hundred.

If you select each file and add to source files;
  By pushing "Add Files" button, or clicking "Add Files" on right-click menu of the file-list on Create window, file selection dialog appears, and you select files. Though it is possible to add multiple files at once, you should limit the selected files upto several tens.

Selected files are shown on the file-list as source files. You may refer the number of source files or total size of file data.

### Whether to change block allocation

If you have set options in "GUI options" page properly, no need to change, because efficient blocks are allocated automatically. Only when you feel the number of blocks are too many or too few, you may adjust manually. When you are using a slow PC or want to create quickly, it may be good to decrease the number of blocks. If you know how many blocks are acceptable for speed, you would better limit up to the block count at "Block allocating method".
