Thanks Bill - in this case, I don't think that's the problem. There is a tool from Nero which analyses the drive and reports it's capabilities, and, assuming it does a proper job, it reports that the drive can use, inter alia, DVD-R and DVD-RW at Write speeds of 16x and Read speeds of 24x. I noticed on another site (can't remember the URL as I was on someone else's computer at the time) that DVD-RAM drives are very fussy about the media used - something about some being too shiny(!).
Thanks for helping, anyway.
