A place to keep my work.
Published on April 17, 2014 By Uvah In Personal Computing

Bought DVD-RW discs for additional backups. My laptop has a DVD-RW drive and I checked with device manager and it says its working properly. I checked online for a driver update and it came back that the latest driver is already installed. I put a disc in it and first it didn't see it. After several tries it finally saw the disc and I was able to copy the installer packages I saved as backups. Then when I tried to copy other folders it came back saying the drive is a CD-ROM and not re-writable after I had already moved several folders to it. Now I tried to create a system image and put it on another disc. It formatted the disc and ran the backup. An hour later it came back saying Windows found errors on the disc and canceled the image. Now I insert a disc and it is not even being seen. I encountered this problem on other machines, not just my laptop. Why is this always a problem?

OK so what is the best program to use to make an ISO?

Googling it,genius.

Google will give me a list of programs that make an ISO. I was looking for others opinions. Google can't do that.

Google gives you options as to which program will create an ISO. Run down the list, choose a freebie if that's what you're looking for, but read the comments and what the proggie can and cannot do. Then pick one. I grabbed WinXDVD copy Pro when it was a freebie on BitsDeJuer (? spelling). It can create an ISO and burn it to disc. Good luck.

Thank you,Uvah. At least,someone did search than kept asking questions that can be found on the net.

I use ISO Creator.

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/iso-creator-cs/  

 

 

I made an ISO from a 7 disc, added it to a bootable USB Flasher with Rufus, and installed 7 on the media box without a DVD drive
