    It was getting late when i tried this, so i may be missing something obvious.

    On my desktop i have always used Nero so NTI is totally new to me.

    I cannot seem to be able to copy the files (mainly archive files for work) from one CD/DVD to another when the source and target drive are the same. I recall Nero would let me put in the source disk, automatically create a file, and then ask me to insert the destination disk. I suspect NTI also does this but I must have missed the setting.

    It gave me a menu option to create an ISO image to disc which i did. There was then another menu option to burm from an ISO image which i did. I did this successfully for a CD and didn't try a DVD. I am running FAT32 so am uncertain whether it will let me create an ISO image over 2GB anyway.

    The 2GB filesize would not be a problem if i were able to copy over the files directly as none are above 2GB. I looked through the help files but couldn't see any reference to source and target drives being the same.

    I imagine i could manually copy all the files to a temporary location and then burn from that, but it seems a long-winded and manual approach - surely something that is dealt with by a wizard.

    Pleease note, that i cannot use the CDcopy function as i do not want to copy every file - only selected folders (relating to particular customers).

    The software must do what i want since all notebooks tend to only have one drive. I will probably feel stupid when someone tells me what i am doing wrong, but please do tell me !

    Thanks

    I use NTI DVD Maker 7.

    Wouldn't it be easier to copy over all of the files, then delete the ones you don't want? Even if there was a wizard, you'd still end up sorting through files.

    Thanks Chazman

    You're probably right. Thinking back to when i used Nero, i don't think i had the option of selecting particular files - i probsbly just used to copy the whole CD (- i'm possibly getting confused with some software that let me create an audio compilation cd from exisiting cds that i owned and it prompted you to insert each cd when needed).

    I imagine that doing it the way you suggest is only manually doing exactly what any wizard would do.

    Perhaps i expect too much !

    Thanks again
