srs5694 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I don't see why it wouldn't work, although I don't believe I've ever tried it. (Unless maybe they're over the ~4.7GB that single-layer DVDs support.) Where did you read that it wouldn't work? As I see it, you've got very little to lose by trying it. Even if it doesn't work for some reason, it's an -RW disc, so you'll be able to re-use it.

Yea im mean DVDRW is all i have so that all i have been trying to install on my Dell Inspiron 2650. of coarse it doesn't work but i dont think its the DVDRW discs fault. I was just wondering because i've heard so many people say that it won't.

PortalCake Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 It will work, BIOSes see any optical media as read-only. Only the OS decides if it can R/W to it.
