Okay.. i gave Nero another chance....
it wrote to a DVD+R just fine...
all went well.....
but when ever i put in a DVD-R...
i get a message that the disc is not empty....
and that i should put in one that is empty...
i am using the same brand as the DVD+Rs..
and all that i have tried are brand new...
right out of the plastic sleve......

has anyone else come across this problem....
can anyone Please tell me what i need to do????
Using DVD+Rs is fine....

Inspiron 5100 LapTop...
NEC DVD+RW ND5100
Windows XP Home /w SP1

Note the + sign in NEC DVD+RW ND5100 and not a - or a +/-.

Never Mind.....

Dell said they sent me a Dual DVD writer...
but i just found out that the ND-5100A is
DVD+R and DVD+RW only....

anyone have a nail i can bite through...???

So.. now my question is..
How well to DVD+Rs work with DVD BackUps...
how well do they play...

Thanks to everyone!!!!

you will have no problems using dvd+r for all your backups , all i would advise is to use good quality discs , then no chance of ant coasters.

i've read, read and read again everything i've found on here regarding the diference between +r and -r media and i still aint got an answer. I'm with woof811 on this one........just make sure you dont try to go too cheap on the blanks.......can work out expensive in the end

Dsn- i've been using + media for about a year now. My burner was the NEC ND1100A. I've had no problems in a variety of standalone players, including ps2's (over version 4 of course).You'll be fine with the +r's mate. I recently (yesterday) upgraded to a Pioneer 107 dual format burner, for no other reason than having a liking for shiny new things, lol, plus the fact that the choice of +r media in shops here in UK was shite, to say the least, and -r media is more freely available and a bit cheaper, too. happy burning.
