DVD-R not recognised

[tango_jd]

Ok so I didnt look or check.
Apparently my Fujitsu Siemens PC does not acknowledge or even SEE DVD-R disks - only DVD+R's
Fair enough
However - is that just a setting I need to fiddle with or is it a constraint of the PC/DVD writer drive?

No big deal - I'll use +R's in future.

Your writer may or may not write to DVD-R, but it should be able to read them. What brand/model writer do you have?

Complete your Computer Specs for faster answers. I agree with Shocker....

Thanks for the responses:

I used the Nero Info Tool to tell me:
It's a NEC DVD+RW ND1100-A

The box is checked for "supported write features" CD-R and CD-RW
but not for DVD_R or DVD-RW

That told me then!

I havent tried READING a DVD-R yet
As I say, no problem as I will just use DVD+R to write to.

Some Drives do, some drives don't I suppose!
