Impossible, since your device _reads_ CDs/DVDs, but does not _write_ either CD nor DVD.

Do you have a USB memory-stick (holding 4Gbytes) ?
If so, copy the files to the memory-stick,
and take the memory-stick to your friend's computer,
presuming that his/her computer has a DVD-writer.
That DVD can be _read_ on your computer.

Yes, you can do it. YOu just need a DVD burning software to help you do that.
I always use this disc creator to burn photos to DVD, it works pretty well for me.

You would need a dvd rom thats capable of burning dvd+r, dvd-r or dvd-rw. You'll know when you see a drive that does it cause it has the RW in a square. You need a dvd burner.

Your drive is only capable of burning cd's but not dvd's.

You can see the specs for your drive here:

I can copy discs but cannot burn copies.

Ummm, not to sound like a wise a$$, but does is the drive a cd/dvd burner or just a player? And if so, do you have any disc burning software? If you have the software for burning discs installed, and it doesn't work, you may want to consider reinstalling the you burning software, and maybe even the firmware for your cd/dvd drive. Your firmware can be found here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=442915&. Hope this helps.

Upgrade CD/DVD ROM to CD-RW/DVD ROM

I just replaced my original CD/DVD ROM with a Toshiba SD-R2512 CD-RW/DVD ROM in my 1805-S253 running Windows ME. I used "Roxio Easy CD Creator" for writing to CD's. Everything was "plug'n'play" except the bezel that came with the new drive had to be swapped out. Windows ME recognized the new drive immediately and I didn't have to load any new drivers. This upgrade will probably work on other 1800 or 1805 Satellite series machines.

I have a Compaq Presario R3000 laptop. Is it capable of burning DVD's and if so, do I need additional software. I have made a video with sound on Kizoa and I cannot burn it to a DVD as the program...

According to epinions Your Notebook is NOT capable of burning DVD's. It can only burn CD's.

My toshiba u 400 12p's cd rom working but not burning. burning time comes error code 380381 26 2A031000, what can i do?

Looks like this is a pure hardware error and the Rom needs a service. Still you may try to reinstall the driver and the burning software. This could give results if you are lucky enough not to have a hardware issue.

Good Luck.

I have a dvd/cd SD-R6252 unit in my r3000 compaq presario. I've burned CDa but cannot burn a DVD. I think I know the answer but I want to be sure is this unit capable of burning DVDs?

Hi, well ur DVD\CDRW drive is a combo drive. It can play CDs\DVDs but burns only CDs as it's NOT a DVDrw @ the same time. It won't burn a DVD.

.... In future I propose u either to replace the drive by a DVDRW or u may buy an external slim dvdrw if u want to keep ur existing drive as well. 2nd solution is best BTW.

Toshiba sd-r2002

I'm very late to your question, but the problem is that this drive doesn't burn DVDs (i.e., it was not designed to do that). It's a CD-RW, DVD-ROM (read only).
