Solved Writing to a DVD

I was attempting to copy some files to my DVD. I selected them and chose "Send to" and selected my DVD drive. I now got a window saying, "Files ready to be written to the DVD".

(1) How do I get it to write the files.
(2) If I wanted to cancel the operation how do I do that?

I must be missing something, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. The help screen is NOT very helpful.

Every time I put a blank DVD in the drive it comes up with that same message and I can't seem to be able to get rid of it.


Please help me!!!!!

Thank you.

I get the message in the attached picture.
I click it & things proceed.

I did as you did & got the first popup above.
Followed the prompts & the folder I chose was burned with success.
I chose to burn as usb drive so it could be erased or added to.
Hated to waste a dvd just testing this.
See numbered pictures of prompts & actions:

you need to click on manage in the top toolbar area to continue burning, i did not complete the burn and just hit eject and it has yet to say i had file waiting to be burnt, hope this is what you are looking for .good luck

2) If I wanted to cancel the operation how do I do that?

when i put the disk back in and went to the dvd icon in mycomputer [i don't have auto detect dvd set ],and it said i had file waiting to be burnt and it showed the files i just deleted the files it listed

If I had only clicked "manage". How stupid of me. Thank you all, very much.
BTW can you recommend a manual so I can bone up on Windows 8?


Thanks again, Guys.
