[MissNicole]

ok people so apparently im a not so smart computer person and i cant find anyone to help me .. so i am trying to install a dvd burner into my computer and i have it hooked up .. i can see the DVD-RW drive in my computer so i know its there but every time i put a disk in it wont read it .. and also when i try to burn something it tells me to insert a writable disk .. i have probably spent over $150.00 in DVD's and cds thinking i was buying the wrong ones .. so can someone pleaseeee help me

For starters what make & model of burner?
Is it SATA, USB or IDE?
How do you have it connected?
What are your system spec's?
What operating system?

Simply you havn't supplied enough info plus you also didn't need to make 2 other threads.
