Please click the link below for your operating system to download the TSG SysInfo Utility. Click on "Save File" then double-click the file to run it. Copy and paste the report in your initial post. Windows 7 and later (downloads a file named tsginfo.exe) | Windows XP (downloads a file named SysInfo.exe)

Pretty easy to install; I like to put the dvd burner on ide2 as the master device. Install your cdr drive as the slave device.
I use LiteOn drives; never had a problem with one yet. The last burner I installed was a LiteOn 8X and I think the price was $117 from newegg.com.

One other thing; I really dislike the burning software that comes with most dvd burners. If possible get Nero; it does a great job. If you already have Nero with your old cdr drive [and it is version 5.5 or later] it should burn dvds without a problem.
