Whenever I try to copy any type of files onto a DVD+RW, I keep getting a
message that says that there was an error when Windows tried to copy the
file. I get an option that allows me to retry, skip, or cancel. Retry doesn't
do anything, and skip and cancel just cancel the process. I'm not really sure
how or why this is happening, it never occured before. When I try burning a
DVD using a WinDVD Creator everything works fine but when I try to watch my
DVD on the TV, I get a message that says incorrect disc. It is a "HL-DT-ST
DVD+RW GCA-4040N". Before a blank CD or DVD is in the drive it says
"DVD/CD+RW Drive (D:)", when I put a blank CD or DVD in there is says "CD
Drive (D:)". I'm sure that I can burn DVD's on there becuse I burned one less
than a month ago. Can anyone please help me out (I can watch DVD's on there
though)

So.. what application (third party - Windows XP does not natively support
writing to DVDs) are you using to copy these files?

I see you use WinDVD Creator - but did you know that many older DVD players
(stand alone) will not read ANY type of burned DVDs - many newer ones will
only read one type of DVD (+R, -R, +RW, -RW) and you may not be feeding it
the right type.
 
I understand what you're saying but the thing is the DVD player that I'm
using should read these DVD's becuse it worked before. Less than a month ago
it played a burned DVD+RW and I'm still using the same DVD's. I think that
for some reason though the DVD burner part of my drive just disappeared.
