D. V. Devnull Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I figured out that my drive can't burn DVDs, so I'm going to put the files on SD cards and have my friend burn them. Thanks for the help guys, I'm just going to have to give the files to my friend every time I want some more backups :( Or even better, you could just buy an External Lite-On DVD Burner, so that you can do it all on your own. 8-) Here's a link to one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106056 Enjoy! :thumbsup: ~D. V. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareJonsson Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Personally i would do Devnulls solution or try to find a DVD-RW internal one for your laptop. Or buy an external USB one, you can plug that into anything then. [Assist-X] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V. Devnull I'm running low on money, and it's a lot cheaper to give the files and DVDs to my friend then to buy a $40 burner that I'll use like 10 times in my life :lol: But thanks for the suggestion!

You know not how much you would really use a DVD burner, until such time as you really have one of your own. Keep saving $$$ for later, so that you can eventually get one. You will enjoy the ability to burn to such point that you will use it far, far more than just 10 measly times. :twisted: ~Mr. D. V.

I'm a good example of this. When I bought my computer, I had a pack of 25 DVDs that came with it. How many are left? Around 5. How long has it been? 2 years. ;).

pryomancer Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I used to burn a song or two on a cd once a week for my college radio, that was it. Other than that, it's been a good half decade since I last burned something meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
