Hi can anyone help me with a DVD Drive problem. I have purchased DVD+RW

DVD Drive problem
I not sure because I don't use RW disks but I seem to remember something
about some kind of formatting of the disk. "joy10fox" u26424@uwe wrote in message news:6610ae2cc737e@uwe... Hi can anyone help me with a DVD Drive problem.

DVD Drive problem
What burning program are you using? WindowsXP does not have any built in
burning support for DVD's only CD's. "joy10fox" u26424@uwe wrote in message news:6610ae2cc737e@uwe... Hi can anyone help me with a DVD Drive problem.

DVD Drive problem
I can burn CDs no problem and I can load and watch all other DVDs. What do
you mean by a different brand of media (sorry I am new to this) thanks joy Merlin wrote: Have you ever been able to burn a DVD with it? What about CD's? Have you tried a different brand od media?

DVD Drive problem
What I mean is let's say the DVDRW's you bought were say Fugi's, have you
tried Ritek's. Some burners don't match well with some brands but do well with another brand. Also have you tried burning to a DVD+R or a DVD-R. You need to experiment a little to know wheather or not you've got a problem with the burner's laser. What is the exact model of the burner? You can find that in the device manager.

Your problem sounds like you have one of those drives. They are common on low end, inexpensive computers. Bobby |

DVD Drive problem
Hi Bobby
Well you hit the nail on the head. I went back to the manufacturer and they have advised me that I can burn CDs but not DVDs. Very annoying when I thought that I had purchased a PC with a DVD burner. Thanks to you and all the other people who provided me with advice I very much appreciated it. Cheers Joy NoNoBadDog! wrote: Hi can anyone help me with a DVD Drive problem.
