    DVD R/W drive only reads data and music CDs and not DVDs

    I tried steps 1 through 5 listed in this article

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...is-not-recognized-by-windows-or-other-program

    The DVD R/W drive is in a Dell XPS 8300 PC and this morning I ran Dell Support Assist.

    The built in drive self test passed as well as the CD Rom test. Could not complete the DVD tests because it doesn't recognize that I inserted a DVD.

    whats the difference between cd +r and cd -r

    Are you sure it was CDs? Because CDs came in CD-R and CD-RW, or at least, I've only ever seen CD-R/R
    It's DVDs that are available as DVD+/-R/RW/RAM, and even then, I have no clue about the differences between those, I just get the cheapest per disc.
