Step 5: Configure disk burning options First, give a name to your disc. Now it will ask you how do you want to use this disc? You have two options. If you choose the first option called a USB drive, then your DVD works like a typical USB drive. In other words, you can always delete, insert new files at any time. People are very likely to choose this option. But if you choose the second option to burn files into the DVD, then you won't be able to delete or edit the data. I mean once you burn any files, they will stay forever and become read-only. This is the preferred way to use a DVD. I am going with the 2nd option.
