Ok, so I have this DVD/CD-rom drive, & I`ve been burning CD-R/DVD-R for over six months on my new ASUS Z53E series laptop, runing Vista Home Premium, because that`s the discs I`m used to buying. Now I find out that there`s this other option: CD+R/DVD+R
Out of curiosity, I looked on my CD/DVD drawer, & writen really, really small, there`s this DVD+R DL. So I decided to buy DVD+R, thinking that may be they`re better, because that`s what is writen on the DVD drawer. Tried burning a dvd, but it doesn`t happen. Should I change some settings on my Nero/DVD flick , may be the book type? or do I need to let the computer know that I`m burning +, not -
I just wonder why I can write on -, when what is writen on the drawer is a +, but I cannot write on DVD+R.
I hope I explained myself more or less, THANKS!!
