nope that's fine...I believe the original just says DVD-ROM because you can't burn anything on to it, where as with the DVD-R, it recognizes it as blank media which you are able to burn info on there..

good luck with that backup! hope it works out for you!

mcnoodle: I just popped in my backup copy of GTA SA and it actually does say DVD-ROM in the "My Computer" window...as for your knee hitting the eject button, I don't know about that one..doesn't sound good to me...

I noticed you used a +R, well, as long as your PS2 can read it I guess it's okay, but just a word of warning, some systems out there aren't able to read anything but -R's

hey mcnoodle, I'm using DVD-R's but they are showing up as "DVD-ROM" on my computer...I'm just looking under the "My Computer" window in XP. It shows an icon (picture of a disc) right beside are the words SAN ANDREAS, and then below the icon it says DVD-ROM

It might be the "book type". Nero supports setting the book type to "DVD-ROM" on select DVD burners. This setting has been known to make the disc easier to read in the PS2 although it is not required.

Congrats on finally getting your stuff to work...enjoy the game...

about those cheap DVD's you're using, although they may work in your PS2, you gotta becareful what you put into your system, cheap quality disc will detiorate the life of your laser....it has to do with the reflectivity of the disc, and cheap quality DVD blanks has a negative effect on the laser...just becareful
