Re:
CD-RW drives can only read all CD-rom and CD-RW formats and read DVD formats but cannot write to a DVD, if you want to write a DVDs you need to buy a DVD-RW burner which can burn all CD-formats

Sometimes it is due to a dirty read lens in the unit. More often it is due to newer DVDs having newer security encryption algorithms that the older units are not compatible with. You may want to check to see if there are any firmware upgrades for your unit that may bring it more up to date on the current encryption standards.
Have you tried burning a CD in the new drive? Because the drive is a DVD it will always be recognised as a DVD, but should work perfectly well with CDs both playing and recording.
The messagin indicates that the unit recognizes the a DVD is present. Since it goes that far, it suggests that the information read from the disc is wrong. A dirty lens can cause this. Use a cotton swab as Welcomjee suggested dampened with alcohol. If that does not resolve the problem but a CD will play, then the optics are failing and need to be replaced.
Given the cost of replacement optics for your unit, if the optics are bad, replace the unit.
Hi,
What Do You Mean ?
You can,t see a picture on the screen?
Your Drive does,nt recognise a DVD Disk ?
Have you got software installed, to view a DVD ?
Like windows media player or Nero DVD ?
