I'm sure most of you have heard this before.
So I'm going to say it simple.
After reinstalling Windows XP along with all the drivers with my recovery CDs, my Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K15 Drive isn't acting the same as it used to on my laptop. Here's how it is:

Plays and recognizes CDs
Burns CDs
Most of the times Plays and Recognizes DVD Movies
Does not recognize blank DVD-Rs
Does not recognize blank DVD-RWs
Will not burn DVDs

This is a massive bummer to me, because I used to use DVDs all the time to back up my music, movies, and files because CDs don't cut it.
I'm not a tech-genius, so kinda be detailed with me please?

Thanks, cool site btw.

Use the bundled burning software of your dvd drive.
