Do you have the manual for your burner? You said you checked "compatible drives" and I assume that means you checked some web site, which is usually accurate if you mean the one I think you mean, but when in doubt check the manual for your own machine. It's odd that your burner won't recognize them -- the obvious reason is that your burner only burns +R's. Of course you also could have gotten a bad batch of -R's but that seems less likely. So do you have your manual handy?

Why did you buy 200 -R disc's for a +R burner?

Best thing would be to return them and get the correct +R disc's for your burner.

It is possible to change the firmware in the drive to a 1300A but it is risky.

Did you read any of the above posts before adding that little bit of wisdom.

Um, Rjeremy ... the original poster apparently can't burn DVD-R discs, and you recommended that he purchase some "SKC Media DVD-R discs." They may be great quality for your burner, but if his burner doesn't burn DVD-R media, they would kinda suck. :-)
