| 676705 | 2008-12-07 13:07:00 | Thanks guys, so i can give the RW's to somebody? I've got an Uncle that builds his own Cpu's and stuff, he hacked his own XBOX...He should know what he's getting himself into if he uses them... Maybe he'd think they're a crappy gift, huh? lol... |

| 676706 | 2008-12-07 17:36:00 | I got on another CPU at the Library, i formatted the disk on that CPU...I thought it formatted to be DVDR... Put it on my laptop and no difference... Is my drive not compatible with DVD-RW, my drive is named DVD/CD-RW, so does that mean it only reads DVD, CD-RW, and NOT DVD-RW or DVDR? The drive plays movies, which would be DVD, so i should only buy CD's then to store files... I think my cpu will never be able to read these silly discs i have... Thanks so much guys, i don't think any amount of formatting/downloading can be done to fix this, i just don't have the correct kind of drive. Sorry for any frustration caused... |

| 676707 | 2008-12-07 20:00:00 | Look in the BIOS or device manager. Whats it say under DVD / cd rom drives?? Tell us the name that appears here |

| 676708 | 2008-12-07 20:15:00 | In my computer, the drive is called DVD/CD-RW, and i have DVD-RW discs, is that my problem? And SP1 can fix that? Sorry, i just realized that was the name of my drive, probably relevant... It sounds to me like your DVD drive is a DVD read-only drive, not a DVD writer which would explain why you can't see the writeable discs when in the drive. Go into Device Manager and under DVD/CD-ROM drives have a look and see if it lists the brand name of the drive. Or run a program such as SIW (System Info) to tell you what it is. Incidentally, a CPU is a Central Processing Unit - the brain of the computer that processes instructions and manages the flow of information through a computer system. When you refer to "CPU" you are meaning the computer or computer system, not the CPU. |

| 676709 | 2008-12-07 20:37:00 | It's a "TSST corp CDW/DVD TS-L462D ATA Device" So it only Writes to CD's and reads DVD's?? I have a program called Matlab that's just over 3 GB that i was hoping to put on a disc... I may just have to delete it, i got it for a class but won't need it ever again or for atleast a long time. My laptop is only an 80GB HD, so i'm trying to free up some space, i only have 10GB available on it... |

| 676710 | 2008-12-07 20:46:00 | Yup, by the looks of it, it only reads DVD, it doesnt write to them If you want to burn to DVD, you'll have to buy a DVD burner |

| 676711 | 2008-12-07 20:48:00 | Thanks Speedy, can i download a DVD burner or is that like an external drive i'd have to get? | SpartanEngineerAstronaut (9872) | ||
| 676712 | 2008-12-07 20:53:00 | Umm no a DVD burner is hardware not software, you cant download it If its a desktop, you can buy an internal DVD burner. Theyre cheap. Just remove that burner, and install the DVD burner. Just make sure you jumper it properly If its a laptop, you may have to buy an external DVD burner |

| 676713 | 2008-12-08 08:43:00 | I recommend asus and pioneer for internal DVD multi drive brands Liteons pretty good too. Don't bother with lightscribe unless you need to print on DVDs often |
