I just bought a dvd recorder yesterday and i cant record on the disk because it says disk error but i know i have the right disk to record on anyone know what might be the problem?

you need to be more specific with the error message, drive, system, type of disk you are using, software, and what you have tried/what you did to get the error...

ok,this is what it said when i tried to recorde

recording error

cannot record on this disk then at the bottom it said E24

the disk's i need to record on my dvd player are dvd-r and thats the one that i have for to record

what BRAND/MODEL is the drive?

what software are you using - Nero? Roxio? RecordNow?

can you post a screenshot of the error message?

the kind i got is syvania i cant put a picture of the error messege but i typed it like it showed though

i honestly need more information here, you said that the drive is a Syvania? do you mean Sylvania? is this a stand-alone drive? or is this a drive you plug-in to your computer?

Okay, so it's a stand alone recorder?

Have you tried unplugging it for a few minutes, then trying again? Does it do it with every disc you try to record on? I know this sounds stupid, but double check that you aren't supposed to be using DVD+R discs.

no its not because i have checked to make sure what kind and its dvd-r and thats what i have

Well, I've had my share (and other's shares too) of problems with mine. Sometimes unplugging it and letting it rest resets it or something. But if that doesn't work, then you have deeper problems. Hopefully you won't need a new drive like I did.

We had a problem with one of ours... what KIND of DVD's are they?(Brand name). The recorder wasn't recognizing them and would come up with an error.

Yes... they still have a lot of glitches to work out but otherwise are GREAT!
