Problem with new DVD drive
|
|
|
|
I just installed a new dvd burner. It will read a cd disk, but will not
read or burn a dvd disk.
When I go to My Computer, click on the dvd drive, and select properties, it
acts like there is no dvd in the drive.
I am using dvd+r disks.
Anyone have any ideas on this problem please ??
Thanks for any help on this.

| You must install the burning software that was supplied with the drive as
there is no native DVD burning capabilities built in to Windows XP. You
likely got a version of Nero or Roxio on the installation CD that came with
the drive. Install and use it to burn DVD's.
