saving onto DVD

[MrBen5]

I am wanting to save a dvd i have stored on my laptop onto a disc.
I am using Philips DVD+RW discs.
Problem is, when i try to save to disc in the options menu, it always says there is no DVD in the tray.
When i put a rw cd in though, it picks it up, but thats no good cos there isnt enough room to store it on there
Any ideas what could be up?

Are you dead sure you have a DVD writer..............not just a CD writer???

I dunno. i can watch dvd's on it.
I have a toshiba satellite a60-672.
it says it has a dvd-r/-rw drive.

That might be your answer Ben.................try -R disks

Ok cheers. i thought all recordable discs were the same.
