Drag AND Drop Software

[golfnut]

Are there any drag n drop software programs that work well for dragging files to cd or dvd. I need to save a bunch of files prior to reboot and new install of windows. Thank you.

it is built in to windows actually - or you can do it with a nero complete install


personally i do not like that driver installed

BJ_M to use the windows built in feature do I just right click on the folder and send it to the drive I am burning to? I too have Nero but do not like it for many reasons, have also tried Roxio with no luck.

Right click on the folder and/or files. Send to the drive. A new icon will appear in the task bar on the right. Click on the icon and follow the directions.

DR_Layne thank you for the help.

Using drag and drop can produce unreliable discs, be wary. Do a search for packet writing.

Drag nad drop AFAIK has to be supported by the software you are using.

thecoalman, thanks for the info. So what process would you recommend for backing up files on hard drive to dvd prior to new windows install? Thank you.

Well if it was me I'd just have to update my backups on my exteranal drive , backup the most importaant stuff to DVD.

Create a data disc from the regular inteface in your burning application, use write once media.
