Re: Change Destination CD Drive to DVD Drive

Thank You, Jim, for responding to my request for help.

And, thank you, for suggesting Easy Creator and Nero.

I have one follow up question:

Since I have already selected and have "ready files to write" to a CD in
Windows XP,
can I move these selected files to Easy Creator or Nero and burn the files?

Since selecting these files and they are ready to write to a CD,
an electrical storm caused a brief blink in our electrical power and caused
many of these files to disappear from my E-mail folder.

So, I need to be able to move these selected files with attached pictures
that are ready to write to a Windows XP formatted CD Drive - PleXWriter
40/12/40A - to the Easy CD Creator or the Nero CD Burner.

Can I transfer these selected files to Easy CD Creator or the Nero Burner?

An answer to this question is very important to saving these E-mails that
are now missing from my E-mail folder.

Again, thank you, Jim for providing valuable help to my significant problem.

I am attempting to copy and write E-mail to my CD Drive,
but the volume of data is too large to write on my CD.

I tried to change and write to my DVD Drive,
but I am not able to access the data to write to my DVD.

I need to continue with the already saved data to be written to my CD
because some of those E-mails disappeared when our electricity blinked
during a thunderstorm.

Question:
1. How can I change the destination drive from my CD Drive to my DVD
Drive?
Without re-selecting the data - since some of the data needed
disappeared when the electricity blinked during a thunderstorm?

2. How can I copy the selected data to my CD Drive
when the amount of data exceeds the capacity of the CD?

3. Is there a way to compact the data that has already been selected
and ready to write to a CD?

I need to know how to copy this selected data to a CD or DVD.

Please Help.
Thank You,

I suppose that you are trying to use XP's native CD copying procedure.
If so, you are out of luck because:
1. XP cannot split files between CDs. Instead, you must save files one at
a time until the drive is full.
2. XP cannot write to a DVD of any kind. Instead, you must use a program
such as EasyCD Creator or Nero.

The above programs can quite easily perform the tasks that you described.

Jim
