In my time I've installed a few burners and not had any trouble. Now I've got a friend's PC to fix and I installed his second hand burner. It would read but it wouldn't write. F First I tried to burn an image using Acronis True Image v9. It wouldn't even start. Then I tried the XP burning...

Recently I got some Verbatim DVD+R disks by mistake. I normally use -R disks. I decided to use some of these for data backups and they recorded and verified OK. However today I went to take a file off one and found that Windows 2K file manager could not see the disk. My wife's laptop read the...
