hard drive first?
i should have mentioned that i do have an external dvd drive. i was wondering if i can read from one drive and burn to the other at the same time
Unless you have two DVD drives, that is impossible, because where is that information going to be stored while you are swapping out the disks? Why can't you copy it to the hard drive? If its full, then clear some space. You probably have some stuff you don't want.
