Re: Dvd drive problem please help

when my old comps dvd drive died, first it randomly wouldnt read or write. On my HP laptop, when i use dvd+r and try to write normally, even though the whole process seems to go successful, the end result is an empty disc. If i write to it as UDF format it works correctly. And I know this dvd drive is all good.
