Why is my XP laptop from Dell will write on CD-R and read it but will not write or format DVD+RW disks? I get a message "disk is not re-writtable" Does anybody have a similar problem?

The CD burning wizard in Windows XP only supports CDs and not DVDs.

If you have a DVD RW drive, you just need to download a program that will allow you to copy DVDs.
