I bought new internal DVD+/-R/RW and put into my pc which os is WinXP. WinXP has function to copy file into disk. Now problem is this DVD drive can copy file into CD-R/RW by WinXP. But Win XP can not copy any file into DVD-/+ R/RW disks by this DVD drive.
How do I can fix this problem?
( I try copy file into DVD disk by using Win XP, my pc don't have any DVD copy software, I don't want buy any dvd copy software )

You can't fix it as far as I know. Win XP is not able to burn files to DVDs. You need to use a program like Roxio or Nero.

Xp does not write to DVD it will only write to CD/CD-RW
