    You can only use blank DVD+R in your burner, DVD-R are not compatible. They do make DVD+R discs.

    Hi BeeoBee,
    If you will post the model of your drive, then we can tell you exactly the type of media your drive will support. If it is a Dell factory installed drive, click on the CD/RW link within my post and scroll to Section 5-4. I have a few of their drives listed there.

    Best Regards




    God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
    the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
    difference.
