You cannot record on DVD-RAM using a CD-R/CD-RW recorder; you need a dedicated DVD-RAM recorder and authoring application.

While the CD burners that appear on the Drive Image 2002 compatibility list are supported, other burners may work as well. If a CD burner is internal, visible in DOS, and MMC-2-compliant, then it should work with Drive Image 2002.
