DVD RW Not Writing
Trying to create a System Repair Disc. Running Windows 7 Home Premium on my Dell XPS 8500. It has a DVD+RW which will play audio and video discs, but I cannot get it to write to it.
Please advise

Hi Duffdo2001,
Have you ever been able to write to a DVD disc? Would you please check device manager and locate the model number for me?

I am having the same issue.
Using Win 7 Ultimate. CD?DVD works fine with CDs and can read and play pre-recorded DVDs but will not see any Blank DVDs where they be -R or +R
My CD/DVD is the HL-DT-LT CDRW/DVD GCC4244
Only drive for it that I can find is dated 2006-06-21 version 6.1.7601.17514
I have been searching for a different Driver for my Dell D610 but no Luck.
I have 2 D610s, one running XP and the other Win 7. DVD works fine on XP but not Win 7. I have swapped out the Drives and no difference.
Please help

Hi acamara,
Your drive cannot write to DVDs. It is a CD read/write drive but read-only for DVD discs.
