I have a DVD HP writer DVD300e and a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop with
an integrated DVD reader/CD writer. Everytime I plug the external DVD
writer in the USB port it's recognised as a CD Writer/reader rather as
a DVD writer. Hence everytime I use software like Nero/Alcohol 120 %
and insert a DVD+R disc in the driver it says that it expects a CD-ROM
rather than a DVD. Why is that ? I'm getting really crazie ...
