I bring up stuff on my computer, and it has an icon with

used brasero to burn it to a Memorex DVD+RW disc. I shut down
computer, started computer, got a blinking cursor for a few
seconds, and then moved to ubuntu (installed operating system).
Does this sound like I have to go buy some other discs, because
my drive is too old, and can't read the DVD?
One of my old Dell's DVD-ROM drives only reads DVD-R discs, not DVD+R
discs. Any chance you're using +R? If so, try using -R and see if it
is read that way.
