It needs to be turned on in the drives properties. Nero or Roxio would make it possible and you might be able to find a freebie on sourceforge. net or similar. What do you mean by "mini DVD drive" ? Mini DVD can be a CD video disc. but it's still a CD disc but needs to be authored . Suppose it's possible someone made a DVD drive that only uses small discs but I'm unaware of any. By the way a disk is a floppy or hard drive platter. CDs and DVDs are discs. Not nit picking it just helps to keep things clear.

Nero is not a Microsoft product. If you wish to know more about it (or in this case, a particular version of it) you need to visit the web page of the manufacturer of said product, refer to your manuals, FAQs, PDFs, etc for said product. This is is a Windows XP based newsgroup about hardware issues and Windows XP. You have been told - in no uncertain terms - that Windows XP never has (never likely will) natively support DVD writing. CD writing, yes. But Packet Writing - what you refer to as 'as if it were a standard disk' - is not support either (CD or DVD.) Nero 7 may have this feature - that version is fairly old. What I suggest is you learn more about what you can/cannot do in Windows XP. Don't expect it to do what your Windows Vista or Windows 7 machines can out of the box and don't expect them to gain those features natively. Windows Vista is the upgraded version for Windows XP and Windows 7 is the upgraded version of Windows Vista. Windows XP is approaching 9 years old (since release to manufacturing) this year. That is very ancient to even still be a supported operating system, ;-) This web page is prime reading: http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php Hopefully that, the keywords provided by that and this answer (used in a Google search) and Nero's support page will get you where you need. BTW - reading your original post (entire conversation) doesn't really answer what I asked about. You asked, "I have a nero ver. 7. Is it supported?" and I asked you, "Supported by what?". You said you are looking to copy/paste files to a mini-DVD like a standar[d] disk. So - again - you asking if Nero v.7 is supported - by what? Or did you mean (twice now) - Does Nero support writing to DVD via drag and drop? The answer may be 'yes' - if Nero 7 came with "InCD" - their Packet Writing software. http://www.nero.com/enu/support.html -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I don't use it. Google something like: free disc "packet writing software". Roxio has it too but don't know thier structuring. |
