My 3 month old HP zd8000 has HPs best available DVD burner. I'm assuming it should be able to burn all types of DVDs, correct? I can't get it to recognize DVD-Rs. Normally i'm able to put in any old CD and am able to drag and drop files into the drive to be recorded. However when I put in my DVD-R, all burning options go away and am unable to drag and drop files to the drive for burning - it gives me a copying error every time.

Is it something I'm doing wrong, or is my top of the line computer REALLY unable to burn DVD-Rs? I need to be able to burn both data and video DVDs. Thanks!
