Buy Verbatim DVD+R DL discs, the rest are useless in comparison.

 

Burn at 2.4x

 

Check for any firmware updates too.

Thanks for that, have done firmware update, thing is my laptops internal drive works perfect at 4x speed but the external does not burn anything at all even when i get the above stuff the disc is blank ?????

That's because the drive can't write to the disc at all. It's erroring out at the very first 'Write' command. You're actually quite lucky they're still ok to use!
