| 887462 | 2010-05-23 08:26:00 | My work laptop is a dell latitiude d630. I'm trying to find out if it has a dvd writer rather than just a cd writer and dvd player. On the side it says CDRW/DVD ROM. Does anyone know how would I find out or do I need to add some driver software to get it to burn ? thanks |

| 887463 | 2010-05-23 08:28:00 | Sounds like a cdrw / DVD only. Not a DVD writer. If its not a DVD writer, no driver will change that. Look in device manager under DVD / CD ROM. See what the model of it is. Then do a search in google | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 887465 | 2010-05-23 08:35:00 | It tells me it is one of these "hl-dt-st cdrw/dvd gcct10n" but googling this does not tell a computer novice much. Is anyone able to help me > thanks |

| 887466 | 2010-05-23 08:41:00 | Get Nero Infotool (www.nero.com). Unzip then run it. See if that'll tell you. If the DVD writing options are ticked, then it should support burning to DVD's | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 887467 | 2010-05-23 08:50:00 | I believe you have a CD Writer and DVD reader as already advised. I just looked up the specs. What O/S are you using? |

| 887469 | 2010-05-23 09:18:00 | XP pro will not write to a DVD writer natively assuming you have same which I doubt. Have you tried to make or copy a DVD on that setup? If so then how? |

| 887470 | 2010-05-23 09:24:00 | It will with this (www.microsoft.com). But it'll have to support dvd writing. It may, or not work if you're planning to burn files to a blank DVD (so you can play it in a separate DVD player). This depends on whether the DVD player can play the format | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
