No. The laser of CD RW is not capatable with what DVD-R disks requires.

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

To burn music to play for music cds, DO NOT GET DVD+R get CD+R cds to burn your music...\n\nThis is the answer you seek.

Maybe you need a new CD or DVD ROM Drive. If you want, you can buy CD-RW drive or DVD-/+RW drive (Also burn CD)\n\nPlus, they not disk they disc like CD or DVD!\n\nDisk mean like floppy disk or hard drive

Unfortunately, if you was not using a DVD ReWritable Disc, your DVD is junk and it won't work and you need to try another disc, however, if it is a rewriteable (DVD +RW), you can format it with your disc burning utility and start over. I don't think its at all possible to continue the burning session.

Its not possible. The DVD drive has to be capable of burning a DVD otherwise no software can help. Burning a CD or DVD requires special lasers that the drive needs to provide, the software is just an interface between the user and the compatible hardware. So get a DVD writer. Once you do that, you'll get software to burn DVDs along with the DVD drive.

Yes.  I know of no DVD Burner which cannot burn the CD-R standard. In theory, your burning software should be able to tell you if you can't.  With Nero, you get to select what kind of project you can make CD/DVD and what device you can use.  If you don't have Nero, Windows Media player has the ability to burn CDs from audio tracks.  Just assemble a CD and try and use the burn feature, if it prompts you to insert a cd (and you don't have to, you can cancel out of it), then I'd be 99.99% certain that you can burn a CD with your drive.

I use CD-RW discs, but not to re-record audio or music. I do reuse them for data. I don't have Roxio ( I have Nero) but the theory is the same. If Roxio does not recognize one in the CD burner drive, then you won't be able to erase or reformat it. Make sure the disc is clean, no fingerprints or marks on the recording side, and if you wipe them, wipe with a soft cloth from the center hole out to the edge, not round and round, or you could score the disc and render it unusuable. \n\nTake the disc out, clean it, close the drive door and try again. If you do this several times and the drive still does not recognize the disc, you won't be able to re-use it. \n\nHow old is your Roxio software? My Nero was old, but when I upgraded it, it worked fine. That's one possible solution. Sorry I don't have more.

I don't know what that guys talking about cd+rw... doesn't exsist, i'm sure he's thinking of dvd + or - R/r. CD's are a bit simpler. no need for format wars.\n\nThat said make sure it is fact a CD-r/w drive that you posess. the front of the drive should have a logo that says "compact disc ReWritable" \n\nif it is in fact a CD-rw drive you may have to upgrade the firmware or driver. \n\ndepending on your operating system there are different ways to get to the device manager. in XP its start>Control panel>performance>system>hardware tab> device manager. \nin the device manager you should see\na + next to dvd/cd rom drives. expand to see your cd-rw manufacturer and model. Type this in to a browser with the word firmware. I'm sure tons of sites will come up with detailed instructions on how to upgrade you firmware.\nif you are using windows 2000, 98 or ME you may also need to find a new driver. also detailed info on the net. sorry i cant give you an exact web address becuase i do not know your OS or cd-rw model. just do a google search. \nafter doing this get roxio or nero. they are the most prominent and user friendly burning programs.\ngood luck.

yea, what you have is a so called Combo-Drive and they can not burn DVDs. If you don't want change this drive, then you have to get an external DVD ReWriter with a USB 2.0 interface.\n\nThe DVD Burner from Amazon you mentioned is the WRONG one (it's only for internal use). What you need is this one\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1544661&CatId=483\nbtw, at a nice price.

- You might have the combo pack which is a CD burner and DVD write.\n- If it is such a case then you cannot burn a DVD with this combo drive.\n- You can burn DVD with which have the feature of DVD writer.\n------------

If you want to burn a dvd to a cd, you can use a program like SonicPlus\n\nor UltraIso

the problem is that you have several problems first the processer is too slow 900mhz is the minimal requirement. Second there the ram you need at lease 256 mb to opearate the drive with any degree of success. I don't believe it is possible to run a dvd-rw on the computer in question.
