Hello Everyone.
Thank you to all of you who answered my message.
I am told by my dealer that my lg 4120b supports both minus and plus
formats. I am not trying to copy any movies, I am just copying and pasteing
files for backups. I first select the box which says d v d and proceed from
there.
Thanks again for all of your help. I will try the suggestions mentioned.

There are two things which you need to keep in mind. First off the blank dvd you are using. Is it dvd+r or dvd-r? Note your punctuation here. Not all drives support both standards however if you have a good drive then it shoud support both the plus and the minus blank dvd media. The minus media is older while the plus is a newer standard. You are right in that it should hold around 4.1 gigabytes of data. What I'd try using is a program like nero6 which supports writing to blank dvd media. Your LG drive should have come with at least a code for Nero6 Express which is pretty easy to use.
Let me know if I can help further. Second, if you are only trying to copy data over such as files, mp3s, etc then you should be able to put anything you want on it. If you are trying to copy a movie then you will have some trouble in that most commercial dvd movies are encrypted and you would need to decode the movie first and then convert to another format in some cases before burning it onto a blank dvd.
