I've had this acer aspire 3680 for almost a year but just recently tried to burn downloaded files to a dvd disk but it just keeps saying..." insert disk" when the disk is in there...so my guess is that I need a cetain type of writeable dvd disk. Can you please tell me the type of dvd disk I need for this lap top?I've had this acer aspire 3680 for almost a year but just recently tried to burn downloaded files to a dvd disk but it just keeps saying..." insert disk" when the disk is in there...so my guess is that I need a cetain type of writeable dvd disk.

I assume that you just copy and paste the movie files to DVD discs. DVD-RW should be able to burn DVD. So you need to download a DVD burning software tool on your PC and then you should burn dvd with this software. You could try Leawo DVD Creator which can support a lot of input formats and retain the original quality.

DVD/cd-rw means that it is a DVD player/Cd Burner. I had to buy an external dvd burner for this laptop.DVD/cd-rw means that it is a DVD player/Cd Burner. I had to buy an external dvd burner for this laptop.

Hello Rfd832, What I see from the description is that the drive is a combo drive. Combo drives are CD-RW and DVD-ROM drives means CD-RW = Compact Disk-Read Write DVD-ROM = Digital Versatile Disk - Read Only Memory so these drives can read and write CDs but can only read DVDs (Cannot write or burn DVDs) If you want to be able to burn DVDs then you need to have DVD RW drive (either DVD+RW or DVD-RW)
You said that you are able to burn DVDs on other computer so please check the label on the DVD drive.. it should be DVD-RW/DVD+RW drive
You may have what is called a combo drive...it can play and burn cds but can only play dvds, not burn them. Look at the face plate on the drive and see what is written on it. If it has the following: Recordable Drive = CD Burner DVD = DVD Player RW & DVD = DVD Burner
If recordable drive and DVD is on the drive but no RW, chances are its a combo drive. Keep us posted.
A Combo drive is a type of optical drive that combines CD-R/CD-RW recording capability with the ability to read (but not write) DVD media
Lite-on SOHC-5236V is a dvd/cd-rw combo drive so it can read and write CDs and read DVDs (but cannot burn DVDs)

I HAVE AN HP LAPTOP WITH CD-RW AND DVD RW ON IT BUT WHEN I TRY TO BURN EITHER OF THE TWO IT SAYS DRIVE NOT DETECTED. HOW CAN I MAKE SURE IT IS INSTALLED PROPERLY
This is because the model you mentioned is just a combo drive. It is not a dvd burner. You can watch dvd's with it but not burn them. The way manufacturers word the advertising leads some people to believe that they have a dvd and cd burner. All you have is a cd burner / dvd player. What you want is a dvd-rw / cd-rw drive. Sorry! I hope this helps.
