A cd-r holds 700 MB of data while a dvd-r holds 4.7 gigabytes of data. I can store and backup a lot more on the dvd-r disc. But my computer has a cd-r drive and not a dvd-r drive. I want to backup and store documents and possibly photos I have scanned on the computer.

You're going to need a DVD drive to do what you would like to do. Might as well get a new drive, as they're not all that expensive now.

No, you need a DVD burner to burn anything to a DVD.
Some CD burners can read DVDs -- they're called "combo drives" -- but you can only burn a DVD in a DVD burner.
A basic DVD burner will set you back about $50.00 or so. A dual-layer one with Lightscribe will be around $100.00.

No. Assuming you mean you have a cd-rw drive you can only burn on cd-r media, not dvd-r media. You need to buy an external USB dvd-rw drive if you want to burn the 4.7 GB media.

No. You need a DVD burner on your computer to do that. Personal experience on the matter.

Insert Flash Drive. Select the file(s) you want to export into the CD-R / DVD+RW Disk. Press the Windows Logo button on the bottom-left of the screen. Go to computer > DVD RW Drive E: > Drag and Drop into the Window.
