If I put like 300MB of stuff onto a blank CD, and burn it in my CD-RW drive, it would seem that I can then put it back in later and put more stuff on it. Of course, not being a RW disk, I can't take anything off, but still. Can I do this with blank DVDs, given that I'm using a DVD±RW drive?

You can if you set it as a multisession disk. Nero will have an option for this.

Yes, save it somewhere else before you burn it. Then add it to the CD "compilation screen" in the CD burning software. Make sure you don't delete your downloads until after your CD has been burned/created.

CD-RW's usually have to be formatted before they can be burned. Right-click on the drive from Mm Computer, and choose format.That should work.

Have you checked if you've selected the correct drive where the CD is located? Did you know that you can also burn CDs using other softwares such as Nero, Roxio easy CD/DVD, RealPlayer (free download), etc........  Get a DVD burner, you can burn both CD and DVD's.

you can play DVDs if you have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive. I have not seen any DVD/CD-ROM combo drives, usually they can write CDs but not write DVDs but they can play DVDs.\n\nOr they are just saying "CD drive" when it really is a DVD-rom drive.

It's a re-format.\n\nThat's when you use the format command which makes your computer believe the hard disk is empty.  Then you would have to re-store all your software and programs.\n\nIf you know what you need to backup and have your Window CD you should do it yourself.

It means you put information, backup files or copy info onto the DVD as a hard copy.\nYou have to have a DVD RW drive in your computer.  It will "read" info off of discs that already have stuff on them.\nIt will "write" or create a disc with the info you want to put on it.

New blank cds or dvds should not be "recognized" by the os because they have nothing on them.  After you insert them, open your CD burning software program and see if you can detect there is a blank disc in the drive that it can write to. If it cant recognize them then either the dye or disc type cant be read by those drives or the software needs to be updated.  Writable cds are not like floppy disks and have to have data written to them permanently before they can become a mountable volume.

You wont be able to write it again. Sometimes if you use only say 20mb of a cd, and want to add more content later, you can. If you finalize it its not possible. It should always be finalized for 600mb+ content filled.

Hi, You can do all you want with Video files, By having a suitable software, I personally recommend Nero 7 or Power Producer by Cyberlink.\nAnd for disk space, you can copy all the files you want to relocate as DATA on a -R or +R DVD, I don't like to use RW as its durability is still questionable. and you can open if needed as a individual file

If you have a CD or DVD burner and Windows XP, you can just drag and drop them onto your CD/DVD drive and then burn them that way.  If you don't have XP, you'll probably need a third party program like Nero to create a data CD or DVD.\n\nIf you're using CDs, you'll need 2 (each holds 650 MB, and you have 1500 MB, if I'm reading your numbers above correctly).  If you're using a DVD, you only need one - they hold 4.7 GB, although there are other DVDs (dual layer, double sided, etc.) that will hold more than 4.7 GB.

I have found this super annoying problem with burning CDs like that. I will burn some files on one computer, take it over to my laptop and it looks blank!! I use ISO Buster to look at the CD and the stuff is there. Well it seems it had to to with Nero and burning multisession disks or something and Windows wasn't reading them correctly. Are you using a different program to burn? If you use Windows media player to burn a CD, it should definitly read..if not try a different brand of disk. If not then...well newegg.com has some nice 16X Dual Layer DVD-RWs for under $40...

probably because you don't have a cdrw or dvdrw.... look at the front of your dvd drive  if it says rw/r then you need to check your settings otherwise you need to invest in a rewriter :)

You can't delete anything from a CD unless is RW(re-writable).\nI'm sorry,get another blank CD.

Just burn it as a data cd. It should be fine you should be able to re-install it from the disk you make. Also put a word file with the serial if it required a serial # to install a full version on the cd as well. Thanks

I use +R media. I have found it more reliable than the -R media. The cost of the RW disks is higher so unless you want to record over disks use the DVD+R.\n\nWith Nero you have many options. To copy the disk you would need to use the 'Copy Entire Disk' option, but be warned, many commercial DVDs have copyright protection and Nero will refuse to copy. \n\nA more reliable prgram is Clone DVD, it is slow, but it ignores copyright!! It can also compress DVDs so that they fit on one disk.\n\nFull length DVDs show as nearly 9Gb, which is twice the size of a standard DVD disk and therefore will not copy using Nero.

The problem is 2 parted\n1 you used a dvd+rw disc and the problem could be that the player you are trying doesn't recognize the plus discs, or when you burned it you did not finalize the disc, that is that you could still add more infromation to the disc without rewriting over the existing info.  Xboxes will not play rewritable discs unles they are finalized and dvd-r or dvd-rw.\n\n2 the other problem is that you changed the extension of the file but didn't say whether you left the files in the folders that were created when you ripped it.  .vob files and others like it are the informational files that need to be on a dvd for a dvd player to read.\n\nTry re-ripping the dvd but don't change any file extensions, also when you burn it remeber to finalize the disc (if its a rewritable that just means you'll have to erase the contents before you write anymore on it)...the only other thing to try is a dvd-r or dvd-rw disc as those types are generally more compatable with stand-alone players.
