can CD data be burned onto DVD for use

Can CD software be burned onto DVD disks and can I install the software from this DVD disk onto a PC?

 

shouldnt be a problem.copy files to hdd.pull up file,put in disc and burn in dats mode.

 

what is the best program to use to burn in dat mode

 

almost any,nero,roxio,sonic all have this feature.i use nero.

 

play around with nero for awhile,if u still cant get it write back and i will give u detailed inst. its pretty easy though u should get the hang of it .

 

I have tried Nero, but it keeps saying that disk isn't correct format, please insert CD for burning, and it automatically ejects the DVD. Can you give detailed instruction please, it would be much appreciated. The version of nero I am using is 6

Thanks

 

did u copy it to your hard drive first?

 

copy to your hdd first.then open nero,tick on dvd at top.ther will be an option to make dvd data disc.tick that.then pull up file from hdd and tick ok.

 

do you know how to copy disc to your hdd?

 

When I open Nero, I get A new Compilation Screen with Multisession tab opened, on the Left hand side of this screen, there are options like
1.CD-ROM (ISO)
2.Audiuo Extra
3.Mixed Mode CD
Approx 12 sections in total etc,

I don't see where to tick on DVD at the top that you say.

 

what version of nero do you have?

 

6.6.0.12 is what i have. it sounds like u dont have the updated version.

 

u will have to select dvd mode if u dont have this option u need to update.

 

make sure u copy to hdd first.u will not be able to make an exact copy going from cd to dvd.

 

I have downloaded version 6.6.0.12, and when I start it I still don't see where to highlight DVD data recording. Can you explain when it is,

 

sorry, can you explain where it is?

 

The other thing I meant to ask is, what kind of DVD disks must I use, I have 2 types already which are DVD+R and DVD+RW.

 

Here is a question for you. As figured, I put the 7 CD's on the HDD. They each have their own directory so nothing was overwritten. Compiled it and burned it to DVD. Went to install and the program asks for cd 2. It wont just read from the DVD and install everything. It believes it is still Disc 1 when it is asking for disc 2. Each disc is named the same. That is where the confusion is. Am I missing something in the compilation of the 7 cd's into 1 dvd?? Is it possible there is something hidden on the different disc's that tell it CD2??
Any help would be appreciated.
