I have a tempermental computer, recovering from major crash but still seems to have a touch of the chills!!!!!
I was burning DVD's successfully using a Netguide "Copy to DVD" programme and DVD+R. Have bought more DVDs' and they are DVD-R. Copy to DVD wouldn't work so took it off thinking programme was problem and touchy computer - and replaced with Netguide "Ashampoo Burning Studio"...says please insert disk when it is already there.
Help please...could it be the -R and +R bit?
would really appreciate help
cheers Lindy

Just redid burning to get name....
RICOH DVD+RW MP5240 (not sure how much of thats the name)
So I should take this new pile of -R back and get +R

444848 2006-04-07 11:24:00 Hey Lindy,

That's one of the cheapest (price wise) burners you'd find around, unfortunately it only does +R DVDs (the expensive ones).

So yea, you should get +Rs for it, or buy a burner that is +/- R which can do both formats.


Cheers,
