Multiburner Problem - Type of DVDs?
Hi all.
I am the proud owner of a 2373-P1U... and with it, the oh-not-so-fast DVD Multiburner. I just decided to start backing up some of my data onto DVD's so I went out and bought a few... I also installed Nero onto my TP for the burning purposes.
Now, the type of DVD's I bought are Fujifilm DVD +R's. When I put them in the drive the drive light constantly flashes and it seems to not recognize the blank disc.
A friend of mine believes that the problem is that I bought the wrong type of blank DVD's... and that they are not compatable with my burner.
Anyone know more about this than me? Thanks in advance for any input!

Forgive my newbieness to the relm of DVD burning... but I would assume that + and - DVD's are not the same?
What exactly is the difference?
Thank you,
Brad
