Problems with NEC DVD+/-RW ND-6500A drive on Fedora Core 3.

Hi,

I have a DELL Inspiron 8500 laptop running Fedora Core 3 only. My NEC DVD+/-RW drive is only recognized as a DVD-R drive.
Is there a way to fix this, so that I can use the drive to its full design? Thanks,

Greg.

hi Greg, did you solve the issue? I'm having trouble with the same drive, under SUSE 9.3 Professional

Hi guys.

My DVD writer drive is only recognised as a DVD-R drive, and I can write DVD+RW discs on it. The fact that the drive's been recognised as 'DVD-R' doesn't mean anything.

What happens when you try to burn a DVD+?

Also, bacci, if you're using audio CDs in the drive, they won't show as discs, bacause an audio CD has no filesystem. This is entirely normal. Try a data CD instead.
