CAN YOUR BURN A DVD ON COMBO DVD/CD-RW
My laptop (XP Home - May 2003) came with a 24x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive. Someone
said all I need to burn DVDs is the right kind of software and then I just drag the files in that I want to burn. Does anyone know IF I can use this drive in this manner? And if YES, what software would be the best.

CAN YOUR BURN A DVD ON COMBO DVD/CD-RW
A drive that will burn DVD's will have the designation DVD-RW as per CD-RW..
it is not purely down to software.. A CD-RW/DVD combo drive burns CDs only.. -- Mike Hall MS-MVP Windows Shell/User "JudyM" wrote in message ...

You need a DVD drive designed with DVD recording ability in order to burn a
file to a DVD disc. You probably have only a DVD player without DVD recording. No DVD recording software is going to make a DVD player into a DVD burner. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Enjoy all the benefits of genuine Microsoft softwa http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.mspx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Â*--------------------------------- "JudyM" wrote: | My laptop (XP Home - May 2003) came with a 24x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive.

You really expect respect by screaming in our face? So just who is this "someone"? Couldn't be you, right? Have that "someone" post here to illuminate to the rest of us how the "right kind of software" will convert a DVD player into a DVD recorder.

It would most likely read DVD-R as that is just a regular small capacity
