alot of newbie questions

[OSIAS]

alight i am not a newb to burning .. but i am new to backing up xbox games.

I have been looking for some tutorials but haven't had much luck finding my awnsers. I would realy appreciate some good responses.

first of all how do i tell if the xbox game is cd or dvd. they all look the same. or are they only one or the other always anyways.

i treid using nero to backup several diffrent xbox games i have and i treid it as a dvd or cd and no love. it got done copying it in like 1 min i was like nope some sort of protection or something.

oh by the way i have a pioneer dvd burner.

so what i need to now is what burning software do i need to make backups on a windows 2000 server with a pioneer dvd burner and how do i identify cd or dvd.

again i appreciate it.
