How do you convert a data disc to a music disc?
Physically, there is little or no difference between recordable discs labeled "data" and those labeled "audio" or "music." Either one can be used for either purpose.
When burning a CD, the difference depends on the mode used to write them and the fomat the music is put into. Almost all CD authoring programs will do the necessary conversion for you; however there are many different programs so specific instructions can't be covered comprehensively in a single question.
A DVD decrypter over-rides any Digital Rights Movement (DRM) protection encryption on the DVD. This is a method of controlling access to copyrighted material. By over-riding the DRM, the DVD decrypter will allow copies to be made of an otherwise restricted DVD.
Yes. There are a couple ways you could do this.
1. You could purchase an external CD-ROM drive that connects to the parallel port. Using a special DOS boot floppy and driver, you could then launch the Windows 98 setup CD.
2. You could remove the laptop's hard drive, plug it into another computer, install Windows 98, and then place it back. It will likely be missing some drivers, but you can supply these on floppies.

How do you shorten a movie so it will fit on a DVD?
You usually can't unless you delete scenes or shrink the file. Shrinking the file makes the movie look pretty crappy on larger TV's, most movies are copied on Duel Layered discs which are usually 8GB and will fit most full-lengthed movies, you can buy them on amazon.com for about $10.
------------------
If you use the program DVD shrink you can easily shorten any movie to fit on a DVD disk. The movie will be complete with no deleted scenes but there will be some loss of quality. You will only notice the quality loss on a big screen TV. Do an internet search for DVD shrink.
How do you download selected files from a DVD?
The question is vague.
If you put a DVD into a computer and it has a format the computer recognizes as a valid file system, you should be able to copy files from it the same as you would from any other drive.
Video DVDs use a special format and while you may be able to copy the data from the drive (in the form of VOB files), you normally can't then just open the VOB files on the computer and watch them, because they're encrypted in a special way. Also, VOB files are large chunks of the movie which may bear no relation to the division between scenes, and a VOB file can start and end anywhere, even in the middle of a sentence.
To get video from a DVD in a format that you can actually play on your computer, you'll need to "rip" the data using special converter software. In general you should expect there to be some degradation in quality, unless you save the ripped video in an uncompressed format (which can result in extremely large files; even with standard-definition video this amounts to over 20 megabytes of data per second).
Can DVD-ROM drives play CD-ROMs as well?
Most DVD drives can read both CD-R and DVDs. However, CD-ROM drives, which were designed before DVDs became standard, cannot read DVDs.
What common file extensions play on most Home DVD Players?
Many home DVD players can play: DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, DVD-RAM/R, CD, CD-R/RW, WMA, MP3, JPEG, and HDCD
Do old computers have CD burners?
Define "old computers." CD-R(W) drives have been pretty common since at least 2001. Ones on computers before that are uncommon,but still possible, and one can usually be added to it.
