Q: Does anyone know if the finished nLite image can be copied to a DVD+RW, so the DVD can be used again?
Or, does it have to be burned to a write once DVD+R disk?

Before you ask........Yes my ISO is too big to fit on a CD, because of the addons I use plus I don't remove any XP components.
I've looked the forum over but can't find any reference to it.

as long as your drive will read the data it's ok to use a rewritable media.

Thank you...Just didn't know if that would work or not. Having to use DVD+R's, will get pricy afte a while.

hapecatŪ,
I have used a DVD+RW many times with no problems. Just erase it before writing a new ISO.

Have fun, John.

Depending on burner software being used you may not even need a separate erase step. Nero doesn't although it does show a warning about the disc not be empty and asks if you want to continue.

actually it does the erasing just before the writing (sound logic no ?)

As I understand it DVD+RW doesn't need a separate erase cycle the way CD-RW does.

works fine i always use dvdrw's for nlite / vlite

i tend to make the iso, then use imgburn to do the burning/erasing, the xlite inbuilt burner dll doesn't like all media..
imgburn will prompt you to quick erase before it burns -takes about 30-60 seconds
