Which is better a DVD +RW or a DVD -RW?

Burner shows as CD rw not DVD rw which it is?

  • Why does my dvd burner only show up as a cd drive on my pc running xp.? I have dell dimension E510 (two of them) and both (with a different brand of dvd burner in each one Sony one NEC) both running XP. I have tried every suggestion found online so far and none work. If I put a DVD in burner and try to burn to it I get a message that the media isn't writable. It does not change to to a DVD icon when I insert a dvd. IT is a dvd Icon until I insert a blank DVD then it say it is CD and media insertd isnt writable media. So frustrated, this is 2 diff pcs with 2 diff types of cd burners. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

  • Answer:

    Look on the front of the cd/dvd itself. It will say CD, CDRW, DVD or DVDR/RW.
