dvd wont recongnize disc

[scope]

my dvd-rw was working fine but now it keeps telling me to put a writable disc in and i do but it doesnt reconize it? its a shitty NEC1100 that came with my new dell 8300? any reason why it would do this just out of the blue???i burned several disc then it just started happening.

What does Dell support have to say ?

we talked for an hour and they didnt fix it...its something to do with the drive. it wont even play dvd or anything...it is not reconizing data. they are sending me a xp cd and are gonna try and fix it through that or replace the dvdrw if that doesnt work??

Some time back I had a dell and it totally sucked big time the quality of their hardware are the cheapest on the market. And finally a few days back I told another member who was considering buying a dell that he shouldnt because in the last year the company has benn using low build quality components in the systems they make and now the truth seems to be coming out ,just my opinion... 8) 8) 8)

I am having the same problem with my dvd+rw drive. It does however reconize cd's but not dvd's... at least not any blank ones. Unfortuntly, i can not tell you the type of dvd+rw that i have since i have no idea and no programs i use tells me anything about it, other then it's a Generic DVD RW 4xMax...... like that is a lot of help. However i know that the firmware is 2.15... but that is all i know about it.
