Can't burn DVDs on Inspiron E1505--how solve?
I had thought when I purchased this computer that I could burn DVDs on it, but after recording some video this past week w/ new camcorder (I learned everything NOT to do), I'm only offered the option of burning to CDs, not DVDs. So I went and purchased a device at Best Buy (pioneer) DVD drive to replace mine with but it doesn't fit--she must have thought I had a desktop.
Before I go back there, am I getting this? Do I need to replace my laptop dvd drive? I see other posts with all sorts of technical language talking about burning DVDs on their laptops and it doesn't sound like they were using a different DVD drive than the one that came with their laptop....
If I need to purchase a different dvd drive for the laptop or an external one--what type/brand do you recommend and why and where do you think the best price is?

I'll test the sonic out to see if I can make it work or if you have another suggestion send it my way.

software of Windows XP (if that is how you were trying to burn a DVD; you did not
say) will not burn DVDs or even recognize a blank one.
