My DELL-NEC DVD RW isn't working, it won't burn any discs, it won't recognize discs, it shows as being recognized by the system, but thats it.

[Advertisements]

curious, may I start with some questions then.

Which system do you use to burn with it, you normally have a choice?
What is the actual fault that stops you burn, does it tell you?
If you type devmgmt.msc in the run command box and then mouse down to the drive, does it give the exact name?

look forward to hearing from you then.

Hi thomasrbell,

Some more questions for you, is your DVD+RW a multiformat drive, what are you trying to burn because some copy protected DVDs can also cause the burning process to fail. Also check with the manufacturer of your DVD+RW to see if you might need a firmware upgrade.
