GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Recordable media was not detected in DVD+RW DVD8601 That refers to the type of disc you're trying to record to. What kind of disc do you have in the drive (DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, or DVD-RW)? Your drive may not be able to record to that format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted October 4, 2004 I was trying to use a DVD-R. I swear that this one is suppost to work....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lawlerm Report post Posted October 19, 2004 If your drive is called DVD+RW DVD8601 then i'd imagine it'll only take +RW discs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 You may have a + Drive, which will only take +R and +RW media. Try burning with a DVD+R and see if that works. They're equivalent in price to DVD-R discs, so if you bought a spindle of the -R, you should be able to exchange them for the +R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
