Dvd-r without a dvd writer

Running Bing

Just a quick question. I have to boot the pc and i need to save my documents onto a disc. Things is my dad picked up some dvd-r discs yesterday and I dont have a dvd writer. Will they still work for backing up documents and music?(not to play just so I can put it back on the computer after I boot it) Should be an easy one for ya. Thanks.

Thats a problem then cause you need a DVD burner to use those disc's.:o Only thing you can do is buy a burner there relatively cheap these days, have a look at some computer shops around your area or even the buy & sell, even someone on here might have a good second hand one lying about.

Cheers for the help lads. Its no big deal anyway, hes got the receipt and there still in there packaging so there should be no problem returning them and picking up some cd-rs. If you want something doen right you gotta do it yourself.:rolleyes: Thanks.

Is it wrong that I laughed at that? Thanks anyway though, I've been miserable all weekend and needed a chuckle.
