Re-use the DVD after back up files
DVD-Rs are write ONCE -- to re-use a disk you need DVD-RWs.

Re-use the DVD after back up files
If you want to write over and over again to a DVD then you need the DVD-RW.

Re-use the DVD after back up files
Hi,
A DVD-R is a one-write disk. You should use DVD-RW media to enable formatting and rewriting to the same disk. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Piedave632" wrote in message ...
