Can Anyone Assist ?
I cannot record DVD+R or DVD+RW on this Drive
vendor/manufactureer says that it is a +/_ drive
thanks
That is indeed strange, cos I do not burn other media than +r on this drive. What media are you using ?
I was using TDK , but these were not recording now I have been advised to use “Imation” DVD+R and so far these work ok, but I have not used the RW version of the disk so am still no sure if they will work
many thanks to all who have helped me , it seems that it is a disc issue and not a software/hardware one
got the same drive and it’s tempremental as hell.
can record to +r (sonys) but then can’t read them in the drive. tried the burnt disks in other pcs and settops and they work fine.
any ideas?
Your OS/Software config is crapped.
had the same problem here (only with dvd-media though, cds worked just fine). i could fix it by cleaning the drive with a can of “airspray” (high pressure air). i think one of the lasers wasn’t adjusted right (?), but … the dvds that were burnt before could be read again afterwards. 
hth,
