Proably because you don't have SOFTWARE to burn it. Do you have Nero? If not, Windows has no way to burn DVDs by itself.

it doesn't do anything at all? Like no errors or anything like that? What program are you using to burn? All of them I've seen will say something like that there isn't burnable media in the drive or no drive selected or something that will tell you what's wrong. If you're using windows media player or windows itself to burn, try using Nero or EasyCD Creater.

Sounds like a problem with the drivers. Try re-installing the drivers or look online for the latest drivers for you particular DVD drive. You may have installed drivers for the wrong operating system, if you have XP then make sure that you install the XP drivers.

Make sure you don't have any other programs running whilst you are burning.  If that dosen't help then take a look at the bargain cd drives you can buy on ebay.

I can only tell you what how to trouble shoot\n\nFirst, you have to understand that burning a dvd is not an excact science.So try these steps\n\n1-Try to upgrade you software as best you can, to your specficic needs. Some software may not support some of the burners option with out additional upgrades. Be aware that some of these "upgrades" cost may cost you some cash.\n\n2-Up load the latest drivers for your hardware. Meaning goto the manufactures site for the latest device drivers etc.\n\n3-Double check the settings in you computer to see if it is set up right. Windows Me and Xp both have diffrient ways of setting up the burner. For Example in windows ME there were tabs in the properties of the device that let you set DMA options etc. Now in windows XP there are multiple tabs and check marks that let you check weather or not let this device be able to record to or not. So duoble check the settings no matter wich version of windows you have.\n\n4-Experiment a little you will find that using diffrient combinations of the software may solve your problem.\n\nFor example, I was using dvd shrink with nero burning but other dvd players could not read my copies. I ruturned the drive and still had problems burning. Well, I switch to Roxio and presto, my problem went away\n\n5-try using diffrient media types. Like DVD + to DVD- and try using diffrient brands also.\n\nIt will take some time to fix your problem but well worth it when things start run smoothly.

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.

To to My Computer, right click, go to Hardware, Device Manager and see if you really have a DVD/CD ROM drive.  My guess is you only have a CD drive, which will neither play nor burn DVDs.\n-MM

Assuming that you have DVD burner on your computer I would like to point out that windows CD writing wizard will not burn DVD's.\n\nInstall Nero software to burn DVD's\n\ngoto www.nero.com to download trial version.\n\nhttp://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/nero7-demo.php

You said CD... The install disk is most likely going to be a DVD.  Also check the tech specs.  Your hardware may not be up to speed.

not possible, a dvd burner is hardware, you have to buy them

If you want a program that "just works" with the click of a button, I would look to DVD95Copy. The more techie bunch of us use a combination of tools such as DVD Shrink, etc. but if you are looking for a non-technical solution, I would try theirs.

it sounds like the DVD burning software you had before has not yet been re-installed.\n\nInstall a DVD Burning program, then try it.

Your CD burner probably came with software of it's own.  It may have come with Nero or Roxio or Sonic.   Look for that CD.  Go to the Control Panel and remove that software.  Reboot the computer and insert the CD that reinstalls that Burner software.    This should fix the "burner" drivers and software that will allow you to BURN.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!
