DVD+R Media for new Gateway

[lugesm]

After several attempts - not to mention pulling my hair out - I have about given up on the new Gateway AR-230 DVD Recorder.

It seems to work well with Sony DVD+R media, but that's about the extent of it. As we all know, the Sony are some of the most expensive. Great ! ! !

I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Gateway with little or no improvement. It still flunks the test with Ritek DVD+R media. My Sony DRU-500AX burner in my Dell computer has NO PROBLEMS with the Ritek media.

I am not ready to call the Gateway a piece of C . . P, but I am close.
