Burning games to discs??

[Crazy!]

Hiya, I would really like to burn game data to a disc so that I can clear some image files off my hard drive to save A LOT of space for more games, but I don't know how. I know I can download Nero 7 and some other software, but I can't even burn Mp3 files on my computer, my friend said to me I should be able to do that without downloading software or buying hardware (CD Burner). I'm sure I need to buy a CD Burner or something, or is it because my machine just doesn't have an inbuilt burner and newer computers do?

Thanks

For a 1:1 copy, get Alcohol 120%.

Yeah I heard of this one, thanks, I'm gonna download the trial version when I get some blank disks. Cool

Alcohol 120% is great, but if you don't want to buy (or crack) it, ImgBurn will also do the job for many image formats. And it's free

Cool thanks looks good, but I can't seem to do anything, it says 'No Writers detected' I think my computer is missing something, I don't understand it???

A CD recorder/burner or your burner isn't compatible.

Yeah I can rip audio files from CD's so I thought I could burn audio files etc but I just can't, maybe I need to buy a CD Burner, what do you think, my friend said he didn't have to buy one and his computer just does it???

His computer probably came with a burner.

Just check what it says on the front of your CD-drive. If it says CD-R or CD-RW it can burn CDs.

Anyway, CD burners are really cheap right now, but you might consider getting a DVD burner instead. It can burn both CD and DVD. DVD burners are cheap too, way cheaper than a video card.
