pen drives aren't a good place for backups, a tub of blank dvd's would be better, whatever you choose leave the originals on the c: drive.

does the camera work on that site linked to by TT

the logo on the drive says dvdrw?

dvd+r

or

dvd-r

are better/cheaper, if you buy a spindle of 25 or more, they should be £5 or less and can be bought from amazon etc with free delivery

use imgburn to write the data

I have dvd rw that i use on the dvd recorder beside the tv to tape off the freeview. will they do ?
the disc drive at computer says r/rw below disc drive

yes they should be ok

but don't cut and paste, either copy, or preferably use imgburn - you may not have burning software installed anyway, so imgburn is the easiest choice

what I am trying to say is leave the originals on the c drive, because if you don't and the burn fails you could lose them.
