Does anyone have a solution for a problem I'm experiencing with my DVD RW drive. It will read all types of CD / DVD media, but will not write to DVD +R or +RW media. I know the drive is OK as I've tested it in a friend's machine. I have also installed another DVD RW drive and this does exactly the same. When a blank DVD disc is inserted the icon in my computer changes to say CD drive.
 
Tony,
do you think you could tell us which software burning you are
using.....OK...sure hope it's not that inherent XP stuff....

DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW are two types of recordable DVDs. Not all drives
support writing to both types. I would check your computer documentation to
verify drive capability.

I'm using Nero Express 6. But it does not recognise a blank DVD disc. If I insert a blank DVD disc it reports it as being a CD-R. The problem must relate to my OS configuration (XP)
