DELL laptop has sony cdrw/dvd CRX835E driver. It does not read or write on blank DVD disc. It does play a recorded DVD. No problem with CDs.
The combo drive you listed above is a cd-rw/ DVD-ROM....meaning that it will play and burn cd, cd-r, and cd-rw disks. the dvd rom will only be able to play dvd-rom and dvd-r disks providing they are in the proper format. check that the disk in question is not a dvd-rw or (+2) disk. the drive will not recognize that a disk is in the drive if the disk isnt compatable. try a dvd movie, if that works then a dvd-r, if that works then try a dvd-rw +1. if the last option doesnt work then you will have to stick with the dvd-rom and dvd-r, or purchase a dvd-rw drive to install.
GOOD LUCK AND DONT FORGET TO RATE MY POST!! :D
I suggest trying a different brand of media. Not all brands are the same quality - I recommend Verbatim.
