I have about 2GB of jpeg photos in my "My Pictures "folder.I know it's easy to save from Drive E onto multiple cd-r or cd+r discs. However I would like to save them on one DVD disk but my drive E doesn't seem to recognise them.Can anyone help please.

May be stating the obvious, but does your drive support writing to DVDs?
Some older drives only supported writing to CDs.
Even some newer drives can WRITE CDs but can only READ DVDs.
If you have Nero or similar software I think there is an option for it to find out what type of drive you have.

Good question VHG, Title on drive E folder states DVD/CD-RW,however the cd writing wizard keeps telling me to insert a re-writable cd (cd-r or cd-rw).Therefor me thinks it doesn.t support DVD.
I have looked at Nero Express but cannot find option for drive.

Yours is a dvd player, and cd burner.
It won't burn to dvd. You could buy and external dvd burner very cheaply

thanks guys for your replies.I have an internal DVD player which I fitted a couple of years ago.I have tried using this on Nero Express , ConvertXtodvd and Divx but after clicking ADD files and then MY PICTURES it does not upload into the burn tree view window.

Could that be because it is a dvd player and not a dvd burner?

Sorry Ethel I should have said DVD burner,have used it many times .

have you used it many times to burn DVD's or CD's
By the fact it says DVD/cd-rw in my computer I would assume it is a CD burner and a DVD player so therefore will not burn DVDs.

Hi Chuck ,I have two Drivers,one as you and Ethel rightly say is a DVD player/CD burner, the other a DVD burner which I have used many of times to burn successfully.

PS. Just realised that all the photos are also on my Picasa file,so i attempted to save them to DVD-RW,and guess what they all burnt to disc successfully, so why won't MY PICTURES folder also d/load to disc???

are you using XP?
It will only wrtie to CDs, not DVDs.
You need 3rd party software to write to DVD

Thanks Bob,yes I am using XP so you appear to have the answer.I will have to break them down and do a 2nd back-up on CD-R's.
Many thanks to all subscribers
