Right i have two drives a cd one and a DVD one checked properties on my computer its says :
CD/RW Drive
Samsung DVD-ROM Drive
but when im using DVD decrypter it only recognises the CD drive same with nero so i can't burn DVDs i never have :/
But i remember a guy years ago saying that my DVD drive doesnt work and he said he'll fix it. But i said it was okay but now i regret that any ideas on how i can fix this problem?
are you TRYING to burn dvds? well, with both those drives, you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO...
obviously, your CD drive can not write onto dvds, because it is a cd-rw drive that only writes to cd-r media :)
the samsung is a dvd-rom, a dvd-rom drive will PLAY dvds, but will not BURN onto them...
a dvd-rom drive is NOT CAPABLE of writing onto a blank dvd...
so, in conclusion, with the hardware you currently have, IF your intention is to BURN DVDS, you will NOT be able to accomplish this goal until you purchase a dvd BURNER drive~
this entire forum here will give you specifics you can choose from, some dvd burners are dual layer, burn both DVD-R media AND DVD+R media, some have different burning speeds, write strategies, firmwares, etc.etc..
hope that helps you out a bit....IF you want to start burning dvds, you need to first get hardware (dvd burner) to begin your journey

there are MANY different makes and models of dvd burners, i buy MINE from newegg.com, they have a vast selection to choose from varying in price~ from $40 to like $100 for the newer Sony drives, i would recommend you getting a Liteon or a BenQ since they are reliable burners and also without the hefty price tag...
in the Liteon variety, i personally use a SOHW-1693S (which is in fact the identical drive as the more expensive Sony dru-800a)
and the Benq, i would suggest their newest one, the 1640~ :) (Sony's newest dru-810a is in fact THIS same Benq at double the price)
so hope that gives you a good start...in terms of burning a 900mb cd, i THINK that would involve using a software program that allows "overburning" ( i THINK Nero has that option, but i have never used it myself, so i am NOT sure about that). i KNOW it's possible, just need the software and the drive to do it...i don't burn cds often and ALL mine are within the 700mb range or smaller, so, i never tried that out~ :)
