I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 104 drive and I am unable to burn anything.
Following are the steps I followd.
1. Plugged in the drive in USB port.
2. XP os detected new hardware and enabled the device. Installed latest firmware upgrade from Pioneer website.
3. in explorer I moved some files to E drive (Pioneer DVD-RW drive configured)
4. Inserted Blank DVD-RW (2X) in the drive nad said write these files to CD.
I get a message saying insert writeable media.
FOllowing are my queries.
a. How do I format a blank dvd as I am unable to get that option?
b. Do I need any s/w for formatting and writing the data/files in to DVD?
Please some one help me out in this.

I believe XP does not have the support for just dragging data to a dvd......
To prove this, just insert a cd, and I bet you can transfer files over to it.......
There is no need to format a blank dvd, unless it is an rw that has data written to it already.
However, as John179 has sort of stated you will need legitimate dvd burning software such as Nero/Recordnow or Roxio etc....

2 Things I would look for (I don't use Nero, so others would require to jump in here)
1. Does Nero support your burner - I think you should be able to find this out at http://www.nero.com (apologies, I posted the wrong url)
2. Does your burner support the type/manufacurer of your inserted media - I would hazard a guess that your burner is having trouble detecting it.

Do you have and packet writing programs installed?(Nero INCD, Roxio Drag to disc, DLA) These try to take over the drive and want 1st access to it all the time. When you open Nero Express, at the bottom is a button mark MORE. Click that and then erase disc. If it has data on it, it will erase. If blank it should ask if you want to format.

Here are the problems I am facing.
1. I could not get any detail about which Burning software supports Pioneer DVD-RW DVR104. I dont have any catalog or s/w that came with the drive.
2. As I am located in India I cannot order any S/W online and pay through Foreign currency using my credit cart.
I am trying to get the compatible S/W and buy the same here in any stores. It would be great if you can point me to any location where I can check out the compatible softwares.
