I'm having a problem with copying cds. I have an original DVD which when put into the DVD rom won't show any files but only the size of the cd. I tried using Nero - a burning program, to try and copy the DVD directly onto a CD-R but it didn't work. I would like to know how I could copy the DVD.

Regards
Michael

CD burners won't burn DVD copies. A CD holds about 700 MB of data, a DVD about 4,700 MB (4.7 GB). One will not fit on the other.
