Which program are you planning to use to back up your system onto DVD? Have you considered using a USB flash drive or portable hard drive instead of DVD's?

Hi,

When I put the dvd in the drive, it spits it out so will this software
recognize it is a dvd?  I have a 33 gig drive and I need to back up my
stuff.

It may be that you have a CD burner but only   a DVD  read capacity. Some
older drives did not have a DVD burn capacity.

If you do believe  that you have a DVD burner you will need DVD burning
software.  There is no DVD Burner included with XP  . I would suggest that
you go to the Jaws User Programs page where there are several free programs
which will burn DVDS.

Hi,

I have windows xp home.  My d drive I believe is a cd/dvd burner.  When I
put a blank dvd in the drive, it spits it out.  I don't have a dvd player
attached with my computer but I am just trying to back up my system onto
dvd's. Do I have to buy some kind of program so the dvd's don't spit out or
something?  I have tried the minus dvd's and the plus ones and they both
spit them out.
