is it possibal to copy games and software to cd. useually when i download software or a game i store them in a folder incase i need to reinstall any, but my hardrives starting to get cluttered up and needs sorting out.
Sorry but you weren't very specific with your question. I presume you want to burn some files to disc, but what are they? If it is a exe file then it's simply a matter of copying it to a disc in the usual way using any software you have, but if it is a bin/cue file then you need something like Alcohol120% or Nero.
*Praetor walks into the room* 1. You need to provide a lot more detail than that 2. You can always burn dataCDs provided that you have a working computer, burner, ASPI, media, drivers etc 3. If you are backing up protected games, you need to account for protection schemes present Visit http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/47284 to see what type of protection scheme (if any) is present for your game.

Maybe I am taking this for granted but do you not know the very basics of transfering a file to a cd? In your case it is simply a matter of using the software that I presume you got with your cd writer and literally copying them to a disc in the very basic fashion. For example, run your application ie Easy CD Creator, select data copying and find the folder you wish to copy, then copy, this is kids stuff, surely.
hi all "rotary walks in the room looks at files off the guys hard drive and thinks?" um small HD - but yes do you know the basics of backup? if not we can go from there! EDIT "walks back to room for second look! oh! its only a couple of eg's! - DOH! note to self! get glasses looked at also learn to read! ok i think it would be better to go on DVD format!__X_X_X_X_X_[small]XP 1700 TBred [o/c 2004mhz = 12X167/33 = FSB-334mhz] A7V8X SATA150/RAID 2x80 gig [Bios 1012] HERCULES 3D PROPHET [9700 Pro] XMS Corsair Platinum pc3500 2x512 1024 meg ENERMAX PSU 550watts [/small]
hi thats it! just watch the file size! to fit to cdr! thats why i say use a dvd disc if you have a burner! you can get 4.36 gig on one! instaed of 700/800 meg! you could try to rar or zip them down to compress them to fit more to cdr? Thx...
so in theory i could copy any folder from my pc, with the option of zipping if i want, then burn as data.
hi yes! folders too! folders go on the left pane window on the left! files are seen on the right pane on the left! also watch the file size indicator bar at the bottom of nero in the pic i sent to you!
slightly of topic. I've got 4 ruined cd-rs beside my. my daughter asked me to copy some of her music, dragged the tracts into nero till the marker at the bottom was just in the yellow. each time i did a simulation run ever thing was aok, and each time failed halfway throw!!!. any ideas as shes still phoning me to asking when it will be ready
hi ok - if the music is original just come out stuff it could be there is copy protection stopping it? not sure there? need to start new thread on this?! but also you could be trying to over burn as the yellow marker is 650 meg warning! try to keep below it! or use 700 meg cdr's instaed! Thx... are you going cd to cd backup? or mixing files? are they cda format or mp3?
hi Um? not sure have you done any that work? could be a media issue (cdr's?) or you have a bad file amongst them? a currupt one? Thx...
