Can't get any type of DVD's to burn

Dross · 05-27-2005, 03:41 AM

I am trying to burn an iso image on a DVD, but I can't get my DVD burner to recognize any kind of DVD formate. I've tried a DVD+R and that didn't, so I tried a DVD-R and I get a message that says: "please insert an appendable data disc and try again". Any ideas?

What kind of DVD burner do you have? Brand and model please...

Yeah, that might be helpful, huh? Sorry about that, it's late. I'm using a QSI CDRW/DVD SBW242U.

Have you ever burn any DVD's with this burner. It looks like its only a cd burner with dvd-rom. Sorry if I'm wrong

Optical Drive
Internal CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
(Max speeds: CD-R write 24x; CD-RW write 10x; CD Read
24x; DVD-ROM read 8x)

YEP- only a cd burner, not dvd

Just what I was about to say... Um, sony? Whatever...too lazy to look any more... From the name, though, that does seem like a combo drive...

Ah. That sucks...but at least I know. That was driving me nuts. Thanks everyone.

By the way, the manufacturer is Quanta Storage Inc. (QSI).
