Problems when trying to burn

[firebolt059]

I am using IMGBurn. when i try to burn to my blank dvd, it dosnt let me. at the bottom it says device not ready and the medium is not present. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

 

And for some reason after i build it it is always in winrar format....

What brand/model of burner do you have?

 

The Winrar is because the .iso files are associated with that program. Go to the Settings and in the tab Registry - check mark the .iso and the Set ImgBurn as Default Application and press the OK button.

how can you tell if your optical drive can burn DVDs

[Cynthia]

You have one CD writer and one DVD reader installed. You need to get a DVD burner if you want to burn DVDs.

Yes, you need CD discs. What are you going to burn?
