DVd+r disc help

[Pagewizard_YKS]

Okay, I just burned a DVD+r data disc in nero and when i went to open it in windows explorer, the drive spun up, but it would not mount the drive. The drive spun and spun, but nothing happened.

I burned the disc on a DV+RW drive, so it should be compatible, not to mention that I tried to read it using the exact same drive that i burned it on....

Before i went to burn, I saw an option called book-mode DVD-ROM that was available but unchecked. Since I didn't know anything about it, I left it that way. could that have been a factor in this problem? What is book mode exactly?

Is there a reason why this may have happened?
I'm using comp-usa brand dvd+r discs, picked up during a sale. Could the media brand that i use play a factor?

Please advise.

It may have been a bad burn also. Did you make sure there wasn't any underrun errors during the burning process?

What OS? Did you burn it multisession?

Can you see the session in Nero under Disc Info?

Sorry to hijack--but I need to know how to backup data with Nero. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it with a DVD. Any help is appreciated.

okay, I tried it again with a good-quality DVD+RW disc, and it worked great. I suspect my problem was due mainly to s*** media.

And Yoshi: Open nero, and wait for the screen that lets you choose what kind of cd you want to make pops up. In the upper left corner, you will see a dropdown menu that is set for CD. select DVD from the list, and you will have a choice on the types of dvds you can make.

BTW, I assume you're using v. 6.x
