[Beginner] How to burn a file on DVD-RW ? HELP !

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Fact:I never burnt anything in my life.Now I need to do it because I'm going to reformat and I need the drivers on a disc.

I just bought 3 Verbatim dvd-rw 4x but each time I succeed burning a file,Imgburn displays "Ready (Discs needs erasing)" when I want to burn something else !!!

I'm on XP/sp3,with an ASUS DRW-2014L1T 1.02.Sorry for the dry style but I'm just ready to burst.

Can somebody help me,please ? Thank you.

I'm not sure but I think I now understand:I was expecting dynamic burning.That means that I thought that it was possible to burn any file any time on the dvd as long as it doesn't exceed the capacity of the disc.But in reality,I can write only once the dvd.If I want to add something,I have to go through the whole burning process again.In other words,I can't add something to an already burnt dvd.I have to burn it again with the additional file.

Could it be that I'm looking really for a dvd-ram drive ?

 

@LIGHTNING UK:

I would like that but every tutorial I read insists on the fact that you have to prepare "a cd with the drivers".Are you saying that there's some kind of elementary USB support when XP is freshly installed ?

 

Many thanks to both of you for your patience.

What you try to explain, adding a file than another sometimes when you want and again and again is called "multisession"

 

ImgBurn can't do that. You have to put all you need in one session than rebuild the disc from scratch if you want to add more.

 

The best solution is what LUK! suggest.
