- 3). Double click the icon in "My Computer" for the DVD in your computer's DVD burner.
- 4). Click any files on your computer's hard drive that you'd like to burn to the DVD and drag them into this window on screen. A standard DVD can hold up to 4.7GB (gigabytes) of information, so don't overfill your disc or it won't be able to burn.
