Copy a dvd or CD to a flash drive

[ladyhawk16]

I have a DVD on environmental training aids/safety products, etc. and would like to copy it to a PNY 16GB flash drive.

My lap top is a Compaq Presario CQ56 running Windows 7.

I need your help here.

Thank you.

You need help for what exactly?
I suppose you know how to use explorer /windows explorer not the internet explorer which is an internet browser/ file manager, right?
It's a good idea before copying to make your explorer to see hidden and system files.
Then you just navigate to your DVD's root and copy all files and folders from there /right mouse button>copy/, then go to the disk you want to put all in, make a new folder and Paste everything in it - that's about all.
And the model of your laptop don't really matters here.

After u are done with making the iso, use this to mount it. What it does, it makes it looks like u have the DVD disc in DVD drive.
