How to format a dvd disc to a USB LITEON eTAU108 with XP to drive

Hello I'm trying to back up data on a USB drive for device DVD LITEON eTAU108 with XP, I don't seem to be able to format the drive. Can anyone suggest a way forward. I can't seem to find any instruction or direction under MS Help and support.

Thank you.

Windows XP does not natively support in any format of writing on DVD, but it supports CD writing. You have need of an optical medium write request to write on DVDs, for example Nero, Roxio etc.

Optical media can be formatted and used as if they were huge floppy (packet writing), but I found this method of writing data to be very reliable.

Much better, IMO, to burn the media with a list specific files using your favorite application.

  • SPEED OF BURNING/FORMATTING OF DVD AND REWRITE OF THE T3729 UK WITH LIGHTSCRIBE PROBLEMS

    Hello, I have now got access to a key thread is started, so that's it.

    My installation is as above and was again in 2007. Again, it still took about an hour and a half to format a 4.7 GB dvd. It takes four hours to work back up to four discs actoss.

    Discs will not generally be re - format after erasing. I'm not impressed at all and finally after 3 years of struggle and screaming, I'm looking for a good Samaritan trying to throw me a lifeline.

    Hi, Big Dave, thank you very much for freely sharing your expertise.

    I followed your link, but the download would not go ahead, because of the need for me to accept a condition, which was not reported anywhere as an option to accept. On the contrary, there was a specific "do not accept" which I did not disengage.

    I ran several PC Doctor programson my game to the top, which you would like to believe that all is well, but in truth, if this is the case, it's a desperately inadequate burner system, even my basic needs.

    I have, since this question found and used HP supports, with assistance online live with their experts, who suggested the same thing you did.

    Unfortunately, despite your, clearly a good Board, it seems that means that inexperience on my part, I can't avail myself of the installation. Or, I'm just a piece of noncompliant trash kit DVD standards.

    Kind regards

  • How to get Windows 7 for my laptop HP which crashed with a faulty drive?

    I bought my HP laptop about 4 years ago.  Until the Seagate drive has crashed, has been a good machine.  I had a company that can recover the data.  But the HP laptop did not come from a DVD for Windows7.  Then how come HP help with a new copy of Windows7?  I really don't want to buy a new DVD.

    Can anyone offer a solution?

    If you burn your recovery discs, you should always be able to order from HP for a small fee. Are you sure you didn't burn a set and put away them when you've got the laptop - many did.

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Tevans95

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

    Thank you

  • How to recover the DVD drive after Windows XP Service Pack 1 upgrade on protected M200

    I lost my DVD Multi writer after update WInXP SP1 on my M200 Tablet of protégé. Restarting ElbyCheck reported a conflict with v3.00189 drag ' n Drop. I chose (foolishly) to solve it.

    The situation is pretty much as described in FAQ ref: TRO0000001bf9 (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000001bf9

    Is it possible to reinstall the drivers and get the DVD without having to completely restore the tablet at its factory image?

    The good news is that the DVD works - it properly allows the Recovery DVD-Rom Toshiba to initialize. The DVD is mounted in the docking station for M200 Tablet and I don't think that there is another way to connect to the tablet.

  • How to format a Dell Backup and Recovery DVD disc copy?

    In 2013, when I bought my Dell Inspiron 15R is 7520, it was preinstalled with the Windows 8.0 operating system. Using the Dell B & R software right now, I created 8.0 Windows system image in different regions in 3 DVDs.

    Since then I have had then improved to 8.0 Windows 8.1 and year last at 10.

    To avoid the loss of data in case of failure of equipment/system, I created the image of the system of Windows 10 in an external hard drive (WD Passport 1 TB).

    But other readings suggested that I also need to create a bootable in case system repair disc if Windows refused to load. That's why I wanted to format the disks from windows 8.0 image I created in the year 2013. However, the disks are write protected and I can't format it.

    Can someone tell me how to format disks that are protected from writing software Dell B & R?

    Thank you.

    If the media is DVD-R or + r, it is write - once.  You will need new discs to make a new recovery boot disc.

    If it's on DVD - RW or + RW, you can format the disks using Windows or another utility (Cyberlink, Nero, etc) and re-use the disks.

    I doubt that this is possible because Bluray discs are mostly protected against copying.
    But if you have the Bluray m2ts file on your HARD drive, then you could try the tool called convertXtodvd. But I don't see that the reasons for this
