There may be a format incompatibility...DVD-R vs DVD+R

http://hometheater.about.com/cs/productreviews/fr/aadvdr75a.htm

Looks like the DVD75 records to DVD+R and DVD+RW discs.

Maybe your computer only reads DVD-R and DVD-RW?

If this is the case, you can easily change out the DVD drive in your Dell
desktop. LG makes very good DVD drives which will read/write all formats,
inclucing DVD-RAM. I use the LG 4167 from www.newegg.com .
