DVD multi drive - no burn

[marvel]

Got recently a DVD multi (FRU 92p6110) that just won´t burn DVD-RW. Tried with several different disks but it just can´t recognize the disk. This DVD multi was pulled from a t42p and I´m trying to use it on my T41p, but all that shouldn´t matter I think.

I suppose it´s something wrong with the disks or the software I´m using.

Anyone else got similar problem?

Do you need specific DVD burning software to do this, over and above what came with your base system?

Same problems here. Some threads about this:

Yes, you need software to burn DVDs. Windows XP integrated CD burning, and Vista added DVD support. You will need Nero or Roxio (or CD Burner XP Pro which is free) to burn DVDs.

Are you using one of these?

Well, I actually used Infra Recorder (http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/), but to no avail.

But I´ll try Nero or Roxio as well.

Thanks for the links btw! //M

The ThinkPad Multi-Burner Ultrabay Slim Drive (FRU 92P6110) is very selective with DVD-RW media. I have successfully burned Imation/Maxell and TDK DVD-RW media at 2X speed with it, but failed with RICOH/Verbatim and some Generic DVD-RW ones. Using Nero 7 and latest firmware for the drive.
