Cant burn DVDs to DVD RW drive

supremenovice · 2010-10-31 17:49:05

Hi guys, Have a Vista Fujitsu laptop with a DVD-RW drive. But when I put in the DVD-R disk it appears as DVD-ROM in My Computer. It should appear as DVD-R I think. Therefore I cant burn a DVD video until it does. Any help please?

I cant remember Justin, they are a few months old, no label on them. Bought them in PC World though.

Anyway, it seems its a dodgy dvd drive that I have as it eventually worked after about 8 attempts.
Persistance was the solution :rolleyes:
