DVD Burner not compatible with 2003 server?

[Guest Tom]

I just installed a fresh copy of SBS 2003 using a DVD burner to load the

windows disks. After windows was installed I noticed that no CD's were being

read properly by the DVD burner. I replaced the DVD burner with a regular

CDROM drive and the disks were reading fine. Figuring I had a bad DVD

burner, I purchased a brand new one and installed it only to find the problem

also occured with the new burner. Is there some type of compatibility issue

here with windows? The DVD burner is dual layer if that makes any

difference. Please help. Thanks

There shouldn't be any problem with this. I suggest you speak to your

server's hardware mfr for support and compatibility issues, though. There

are generally no special drivers to load for optical drives.
