See if this helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W84VwNKMjBIYou should get a pop-up when you insert the disc, and choose "like a USB flash drive" to add files. Another website I found said to right-click the file you want to burn, click Send To, and then browse to the DVD drive and follow prompts to burn it. Note: I've never used Windows 10 for this. I tried Windows built-in disc burner once many years ago (on XP I think) and quickly found a 3rd party burning program to use instead.

I use right click the file and choose Send To. Quick and easy.

Thanks Jenny. I think I have it now after much clicking around. I did consult a youtube video (the one you linked to, in fact) and also tried that "click send to" and it looked like it was going to do something but didn't so I closed that and started over. I tried that "share" option also. Nothing. I did not get a pop-up about how I want to used the disc. There are already games on it that I burned on it in my Windows 7 computer. There is some tab at the top of the DVD drive window that says "manage" and "drive tools". I had to click back and forth on that several times. First it said something about "finish burning" but when I went back to where it said that, it no longer said it ![duh duh](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/duh.gif) . I tried again and it was there so I clicked it and it seems to have worked. The game now shows up as an "application" on the disc and the remaining space on the disc is reduced. Drac, I was typing when you posted. That "click send to" did not work. It sat on the screen looking like it was going to and was "calculating" the time remaining, but after about 10 minutes and no activity showing on my computer (no blinking lights at all), I cancelled out of there.

I suspect it doesn't like that there is something else on the disc. Have you tried inserting a blank disk and seeing if it would burn?

I don't get why it won't "add" to this disc either unless there is something amiss on the disc. It's been so many years since I've dealt with discs because flash drives are SO much easier to deal with, I forget how to do it! Is the Quarantine Diary a setup file? Could you move it to your computer hard drive?

You must have have gotten hold of some bad flash drives. I've got drives with stuff on them from 8 years ago!
Yes, I was going to suggest reformatting the disc. So are you saying when you go to your File Explorer/This PC that this disc is not showing up? If I have a disc in my optical drive, it shows up. If you can look at the disk in you drive, it may have become corrupted. You can lose information on discs too.

It sounds like the disc is corrupted somehow - I doubt it was anything you did. Can you even access the game you already have on it? If not, they the only thing I can suggest is to try to reformat it and hope it works after that!

You still should be able to look at the file and double click it to see what happens. I assume this is a download? You should be able to download it again depending on where you got it from.

That's great. Some of them "go away" after you use them to install the game! So if you format the disc and it works, you won't lose anything then.

I had a feeling that was going to happen. If the disc is corrupted for some reason, then it won't accept a reformat either. But it was worth a try! I think that disc should go the way of your failed flash drives!
