It's a Sony dvd+rw burner and I pretty much only that drive any more for cd or dvd. The other drive is a cd-rw burner that game with the puter, but, since the Sony actually allows me to add titles to the songs I burn to cd's I tend use only that drive as a burner these days. Is the media you're using compatible with the drive and the software ? As far as I know. The ones I mentioned from years ago were made by Hewlett-Packard, the one I said I put in a few days ago was made by TDK, both are dvd+rw. For that matter......... is the media you're using compatible with ANY burner??? Ditto. Dale
