do you in fact have a combo drive that is a dvd -rom /cd burner if you can post a log from IB we can sort it out, looks like this

it wont see the dvd drive in write mode because its not a DVD burner its a dvd rom (read only) and Write Mode only sees burners ,verify is a read function and IB will recognize it in verify mode . You cant actually burn a DVD with what you have .

it is a model Premium Kreon v1.0 Samsung SH-D162C DVD-Drive *Stealth* when i purchased i was told it is a burner are you farmiliar with this model? is it a burner?

[polopony]

its a burner but only a CD burner . The following is from Google regarding the drive, notice TYPE, its a DVD ROM .The drives are called "combo drives " cd write /dvd read . A dvd burner comes up like this DVD±RW!. I'd say the info they gave you was misleading a dvd burner can burn both cd's and dvd's

Just to make it clear, your Sony drive is the only burner you have (and that's only a CD burner). The samsung one is JUST a DVDROM drive - meaning it can only READ discs (both CD and DVD), it cannot WRITE either of them.
