hi,
please help, very frustrated,
i have a HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4243N [CD-ROM drive] according to my system info. am using windows XP. however on the front of the disc tray DVD ROM is indicated. so this has me complitly confused. i have searched for manufacturer info to determine features but i had no luck. i can definately write to cd-r's and watch dvds. but what i really want to do right now is write a data disc to a DVD-R, as i have a couple of really large projects to backup.
whoaps... have done a bit more searching since i started writing... i think i found the answer on cnet.
dvd-rom drives cannot burn dvd's! is that correct? am very disapointed. i only bought this computer 6months ago! grrr
