DVD-RW seen as CD-RW

I keep getting media is bad, but I do not think that is the issue, Nero 5.5 does not see the burner either it is a NEC ND-3530A, came with the Dell PC I upgraded it from 102 something to 104C to see if that would fix it and it does not.

 

Hello ecvogel,

Please also note that this is a normal situation when a DVD writer is shown as a CD burner in Acronis True Image. This doesn't affect the device's functionality and you can use DVD.

Huh Looks like it works now. It says DVD-RW (E:] CD-RW and when I added a file name and said next it asked for a disk, so I assume it works.

I am using version 8.0 937
Thanks.
