Backup Files by just dragging them to your D Drive
(aka DVD-RAM as a 4.3 GB "Floppy")
By Rob Crombie (robhp AT iprimus.com.au).
This assumes that you have a burner that can handle RAM disks
(LG burners can, and they are probably the best all round burners).
The following applies to Windows XP.
Just Format a DVD-RAM disk as FAT32.
If you are lucky, just navigate to it in Windows Explorer, Right click, and it will offer to format it for you.
ELSE
- Go to Windows Help and search for 'Disk Management'
- Then click 'Using Disk Management'
- Then click 'Computer Management (Local)'
- In the console tree, click 'Disk Management'
- Then right click the drive letter and choose 'Format'
(I used Quick Format.)
Now you have a 4.3 GB Floppy
Which Windows Explorer will cheerfully copy files to.
