I just got this external DVD burner but Windows doesn't recognize the the DVD-RW disk. Any suggestions? |
| You have to have the correct disk. If you buy the wrong disk it wont work with the drive. The burner should have come with a program for burning (albeit shitty one) and an installation disk to recognize the external burner. You know you could have avoided all this mess if you had just bought a mac, right? |

try using Nero, it has a free trial winXP can do CDs natively but not blank dvds I've also found that, in win98se at least, a blank dvd is detected as an audio cd by the window's autoplay, and then the cd player gets an error that there isn't an audio cd in the drive |

Brand/model of DVD burner. Brand of blank DVD's. Operating system. CPU speed/memory of computer. Here is a web page with a small compatibility list of DVD burners and blank DVD's. www.meritline.com/dvd-r-media-4-dvd-burner-recorder.html
