Do you have a DVD burner drive or a DVD ROM drive? Do you have software to
burn a DVD installed on your PC?

Did you possibly fall into the same trap as me?
I purchased a Yamaha CD-burner which came complete with a CD-RW disc.
It wasn't recognised on my other PC & when I read the fine print on the CD
it said "to be used only on Yamaha model xxxx"
