Re: How can I use DVD-RAM as a harddisk ?




That's not entirely true. Windows XP can write to DVD-RAM discs if they
are formatted in FAT32. However, UDF is considered a faster filesystem,
and indeed benchmarks have showed for large files especially, a UDF
formatted disc will be a lot faster than using a FAT32 formatted disc.

XP can natively read UDF formatted discs up to version 2.01, but not
write to them.

I heard before that we can use DVD-RAM as a harddisk under windows XP
envirnoment. Is it really? And How to do that?

Thanks All.

You'll need 3rd party packet writing software for this - Nero's InCd
or
Roxio's Drag-to-Disc are two options.
