Solved
Ya, I'm stupid. I assumed that since I could just drag and drop with Linux, I could with XP too. Never dawned on me I needed additional software.
Oh well, nothing wrong with the DVD burner. I just used Nero and made a DVD, no problem.
Thanks
I have a Compaq Presario F700 that I "rolled back" to Windows XP. (Actually I ran Linux for quite a while, then went to XP for reasons too long to explain.)
Now I can read and write CDs and read DVDs, but not write them. (Note drive wrote DVDs just fine under Linux) I assume I need a different driver, but everything I find seems to deal with problems under Vista.
My drive is identified as: HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-T20L ( NC08)
Thanks!
