Answer 1

because dvd-roms can only read, not write?

DVD ROM -the name itself specifies, read only memory(ROM)
once written you can't change.To write a dvd you need the s/w as well as h/w nero is only the s/w. if you have Dvd writer only u can write DVD.

Answer 3

when you first open Nero on the left at the top u need to make sure it is on DVD and not CD. and on the main screen at the top choose the right Drive I have to change mine from E: LITE- ON- COMBO to D:_ NEC DVD RW

Hope this helps
