DVD-RW Data Backup

Greetings to all:
Please excuse me if this is an idiotic question(i'm new to dvd stuff). Can anyone explain to me how I would go about making backups of my personal files and put them onto a dvdrw? I have a Pioneer DVD-R, WinXP Pro, 512mb Ram. I have dvdrw disks that say they are capable of holding 4.7 gigs(one side), but if I go to use Easy CD Creator, or Nero, both apps don't see the dvdrw as a dvd, but as a cdrw(bummer). The dvdr drive that I have reads cd, cdr, cdrw, dvd, dvdr, and dvdrw. Thanks to all.

what version of Nero you running, starting at 5.3.5.5 ( I think around there somewhere ) it supported DVD-R / DVD-RW drives. Current build of Nero is 5.5.7.8.
