Burning DVDs with Nero Express

[giljones]

I seem to have hit a problem with this. I am trying to burn all my PTE 5 files to a dvd mainly to provide a back up in case of problems. I currently have around 2 Gib Bytes of files on a memory stick which is now full so I am proposing to put all these plus others I may produce in the future. I have a recently built computer with DVD rw tray in it but when I ask windows to do anything to it all it seems to be able to recognise is a CD. I have Nero installed as a stand alone programme and have to call it up to use it. Not sue what I am asking it to do, any help would be appreciated. The odd thing is that the files I have currently tried to save onto a dvd using the Windows option seem to be there but I cannot find out how I burn them (assuming I have to). Any help re these problems would be appreciated. By the way I find using PTE 5 terrific don't seem to have any of the reported problems, so I must be doing something right. Gilbert

you want to select to make a file disk

then select the source files

and select the burner drive that has the blank disk in it

and follow the nero instructions to complete the task

gilbert,

What version of Nero have you installed ?

I have a recently built computer with DVD rw tray in it but when I ask windows to do anything to it all it seems to be able to recognise is a CD.

If your using a spanking brand new DVD Drive ... maybe your Nero version might not detect/recognize it. You will have to go to Nero Site to get updated database config files.
