UNSOLVED
DVD write problem
My Inspiron 1150 with the following DVD device
CD ROM/DVD ROM 4x CD/DVD burner (DVD+RW/+R) including Sonic RecordNow and MyDVD LE
4XDVDRW
[341-0144]
[430-1050]
was bought quite some time ago. CD/VCD copy was fine but I never tried DVD copy until last weekend, I got some DVD-R discs and tried to make a copy. When it prompted for an empty disc and I did so. But it kept asking for an empty disc seemed it didn't like the DVD-R disc. I was told at Fry's that DVD-R has the best compatibility. Is this a DVD burner's problem or I simply used the wrong disc ?

Assuming the specs you related are correct yours is a +R/RW drive and will only write to +R/RW media.

Still b135956Post back the results shown in device manager.-Mike- Under DVD/CD-ROM drives, it has:
_NEC DVD+RW ND-6100A
Note the following is cut/pasted from my order detail. And I meant to order a DVD burner,
not a DVD/CDRW combo.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating so could you please look in your device manager and under DVD/CD-ROM post back with the make and model of your optical drive.
