ZFG Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 So yeah, I have this DVD plate of 4.7 GB wich I'm trying to get Windows 7 on. but the thing is; It says it's allmost full. this is what I get when I'm trying to burn it. It's on Norwegian but you guess what it says. When I open the DVD and look at the files, there's nothing there. Any advice about how I can fix this?

DimensionWarped Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 You shouldn't try to do a direct copy I think. It's important to use specialized tools when trying to make a disk from a disk image (.iso). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Try using ImgBurn to burn it from *.iso format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZFG Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ok,so I tried alchohol 120%. It still shows that it has only half of the space that is possible. I'm trying to burn it now, giving ya the result later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you need software that won't fail you. ImgBurn and iso Recorder are examples of quality iso-burning software for Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerdude Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Haha, and I never use DVD-RW/+RWs. I can't tell you the last time I got a bad ISO burn. Honestly, -/+Rs are cheaper anyway and they do write and read faster, I do believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Still, it really doesn't matter if you've never had bad burns or not, but just in the case it does happen, I'd recommend an RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, one RW costs the same as four DVD-R/+R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
