Also, you must have a DVD Writer. A DVD/CD Burner Combo means it can
write/read CD's, but it can only READ DVD's. If you do have a DVD
Writer, do as BAR said, check what type of disc it takes. If you are
using the right discs, it is possible that your DVD Burner does not
recognize that brand of DVD Recordable disc. This may require a
firmware update for your DVD Burner to add compatibility. What is the
make and mode of your drive?
