how do i copy the data back to my pc just open the cd drive and copy everything in there and put it all in one folder and burn everything in that one folder to a dvd??? is that what you mean

Answer 1

The seven CDs that you created are probably all part of an image of your hard drive. BEcause the information is spread across the seven CDs, the last one holds a file which tells it where on the other 6 CDs to find all the information.

If you were to take and move all those CDs onto a single DVD, the file that says "Use disk 1" then "Use disk 2" would no longer be correct and the DVD probably would not work.

You should leave it as 7 Cds. If they are showing their age, you should make a new set of all 7 CDs to protect yourself.

But you will probably NOT be able to successfully move all 7 CDs onto one DVD. (Plus if the are all full, they would not fit on one DVD).

Answer 2

You can use Nero Burning Rom or the free Burn4Free.
1. Copy all the CD's on your hard disk, each ine in separate folder.
2. Create a DVD compilation and add the the folders where the CD's reside (see 1.)
3. Burn the DVD.

That's all.

Answer 3

right click on the desktop and create a new folder and name it whatever you want open the cd in my computer and on the edit menu choose select all then select copy open your new folder and right click and paste do that with all your cds once your done just as long as all the files are not over 4.7gb just copy and paste to the dvd-rom

Answer 4

Copy the data back to your PC and into one folder or more as needed. The burn that data to the DVD and all should be well.
