It means when the disc is burning the burner system checks that the info burned is the same as the info in the cd

first you need to figure out if you have the hardware (a dvd burner) and the software (the program you will use to burn data onto your blank dvd).

No, you don't need any software as long as you have the "Enable CD Recording on this drive" Checked on the 'Recording' tab of the drive properties.\n\nIf that is checked you should be able to drag/drop or copy/paste to the drive.  Windows will tell you about the files that are ready to burn and you just have to tell it to burn it.\n\nThe only thing is you have to have at least as much free disc space on the hard-drive as you are going to burn to the dvd.  Windows makes another copy on the hard-drive of everything it is going to burn before it burns it. \n\nGood Luck!

Are you sure you have a dvd reader  or just a cd drive???

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.

CDBurnerXP might be ok. I posted a site that has a list of them.

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.

you may not have finalized the cd, in which you would have to finalize it for a non-writable cd-rom device to read the disk, go to a friends or someone that has a cd-rom writer drive and ask if they can see everthing, if so just burn a copy and this time tell the burner software to finalize

many laptops come w/ a combo drive cd writer and dvdrom unless it is a top of the line model you usually had to pay extra for an internal dvd burner. either way you can check it in your device manager. go to control panel >System > Hardware tab then click on device manager. Then expand the dvd/cd rom and look at what type of drive you have. If you don't have a dvd burner there are several usb and firewire dvd burners available fairly cheaply.

Bung one in the drive and see what happens.\n\nIf it doesn't play automatically, go to My Computer and double click on the CD Drive.
