    I recently purchased my dell inspirion 1420 w/ vista. Its turning out to be a great machine, the problem is when I tried to burn a dvd it copied it ok but when I loaded my blank dvd-R, then a dvd+R both were rejected. The drive(E), is a DVD-RW-DL. What type of blank disc should I buy to burn dvd's with this type of drive. Someone said this is a dual layer drive and i should only use DL disc but I can't find them. I was thinking of trying the dvd+rw next. Can someone please help me.
