    I have a Gateway Solo 9550 (older machine). The DVD-Rom reads movie DVD and DVD-Rw- without issues but the DVD-RW+ do not show up in the system at all. Why is that? I can't even boot from a DVD-RW+. Is the DVD rom defective or just old? Is there a fix for this?

You might have bought a blank dvd that is not compatible with your dvdrw.

try to clean your dvdrw first and then try to insert that blank dvd again.

I have an NEC NR-7900A DVD/CD-ROM drive. I put in a DVD+R disc and got msg to insert a disc into Drive D. I now figure that I can use CD-R and CD-RW discs. What about DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. I'm just...
The reason your DVD R was not read- is the drive is a CD-RW, meaning it can read CD, CD R, and CD RW disks- NOT DVD, DVD R, DVD RW

Trying to copy some pics onto a cd to get some disc space but my drive wont recognise the cd rw
do you have a cd writer or rom drive is the first thing you have to check, if it's a writer then put the disc in first and it should give you an option to write files to cd accept then follow the the instruction to add your files, assuming your running windows. iif that does'nt work check to see if your discs are + or - it may be your wriiter will only accept one kind

Dvd-rom trouble
Hi, first of all, I'd check if you have the problem with CD/DVDs burned (written on a CD/DVD writer) or you have it also with original CD/DVDs, which would be weird. Depending on your finding to the above point I'd do one thing or another, but to me does not look like a driver problem. I'd check with Toshiba support if there's a new firmware for your drive, this does improve the media the device can read and correct problems like the one you mention. To know the fimware version you're using, open device manager and go find your drive, right click on it and choose details tab. Normally the firmware revision is the number at the end of the instance. Good luck mate !

NEC DVD-RW 16x DL
If you switched to a different brand of DVD's try using the brand you used before. DVD burners are tested with certain brands of DVD's and sometimes the brands that aren't on that list don't work.
