"No Disc" on DVD recorder, and questions about Replacing DVD drive

[weareblahs]

I have a DVD recorder (if you are curious, Inventec DV163B, which you've probably didn't heard it before) which has a BDR-L04P "Loader" IDE DVD drive (manufactured ~2004) - although reading recorded media (such as Audio CD, DVD-ROM/R/RW), recording isn't. I tried to put DVD+R and DVD+RW for recording (including multiple brands of blank discs, such as BenQ and Verbatim), and it just gives me "No disc". I managed to change the input of the DVD recorder, but it just ask me to insert a blank disc for recording. Tried blank DVD-R and it asks me to put a DVD+R/RW disc - so I have an idea to replace the DVD drive with a spare Samsung / TSSTcorp SATA DVD+RW drive through a SATA to IDE adapter. Here are some questions:
1. If I replace DVD drive, will it still work?
2. Is there any restrictions on which type of DVD+R/+RW will it support?

Thanks.

You can try using the Samsung drive if you already have SATA-IDE adapter. But there is no guarantee it will work.
If you don't have the adapter, try to find an IDE drive you might have better luck this way.
