As far as I know there is no inbuilt support for the burning of data to DVDs in XP as there is for the burning of CDs. Actually I thought that only XP Pro allowed you to even burn CDs in Windows itself. I too find that even Windows XP Pro will often confuse a unwritten DVD disc with a CD disc but this problem disappears if I go to say a program like Nero. There are lots of 3rd party programs that can do this task of burning to DVD data format, including some free ones I believe. I would check out the blind computer or program resources to check this out.

I put one into the drive, and it shows up as a CD RW instead of a DVD RW. I did some searching around, and I see something checked in the application menu called "DLA." What is this, and do I need to uncheck it? I have no problem burning data and audio CDS using Roxio. I am using Windows XP Home SP2. I remember reading on this list about other members using DVDs to back up data. How is this done? Am I using the wrong program? Are there special settings/programs that I should be using? If so, let me know. Thanks in Advance. AC ____________________________________________________________ Turn life into a beach with a new sandbox.
