gordon451 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 G'day all. I'm using ImgBurn 2.4.2.0 on W2K Pro SP4, with a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-115D 1.13 (F:) (ATAPI) onto DVD+R (Disc ID: MCC-004-00). I want to copy some folders onto the DVD to make a DVD-ROM, that looks like a floppy disk or removeable drive. So far, all I can do without painfully listing every single file is to drage a folder into the Build window which then gives me an ISO, which makes an expensive coaster. I have tried to search this forum, but since the search engine won't accept terms of less than four characters I have found nothing useful. How do I go about making these backups? (Without getting some other software...) Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 To set DVD-ROM on a pioneer drive you will need to modify the firmware for the Pioneer drive and single layer +R (if dual layer +r it AUTO sets to DVD-ROM) However (your question is more likely to revolve around) you are wanting to treat the disc like DVD-RAM and ImgBurn does not support multi session. Usb pens are very cheap now so either use DVD-RAM or a memory card/usb flash pen etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon451 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sorry 'bout the delay -- work interfered @blutach - I'm not a great upgrader. If something works for me, then that version stays. Only if I find an upgrade fixes a broken or missing functionality... OK, I worked out that ImgBurn doesn't support an "archive" function. It's great for making DVDs of movies etc, but that's not what I needed. Problem solved: downloaded Burnaware Free, 3 clicks and I have an archive Small downside, it doesn't give me the disk tech-info. But I have ImgBurn Gordon.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm not sure on your definition of an 'archive' function but Build mode lets you burn anything you want. Fair enough you can't add to the disc once you've burn it, but that's more an incremental thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
