Harwood Butcher Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'm attempting to copy some files to DVDs as backups and when I copy them the following message comes up. I've never successfully copied files to a DVD before so I might be doing it wrong. If you know what's happening or know how to do it properly, it would be much appreciated if you could help me out.

Huckleberry Pie Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Windows built-in burner - FAIL I guess that's why I often install Nero even though Windows is bundled with a burner applet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarrem Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Windows built-in burner - FAILI guess that's why I often install Nero even though Windows is bundled with a burner applet. Always worked fine for me. Harwood, file names? Can you make a new folder with all undercase filenames with no special characters and drag them in maybe? There could be hidden ini files or something.

GTA Don Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Try just copying the files, not the entire folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could try that. (I'll have to do that after work cause I'm about to leave) Try just copying the files, not the entire folder. I've tried that before and I get the same message. I thought that since they're "Read Only" that that might be causing it, but it doesn't allow me to change it to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
