Unfortunately the initial market share war when these were first introduced means that there are different formats that are not always compatible with each other. That's the reason behind the + and - you see on packets and drives, and also why some discs won't work with some drives depending on who makes them. The burner is probably burning in a format the reader cannot read.

Can the DVD written on the HP be read on the IBM?
Can the DVD written on the IBM be read on the HP?
Can a commercially-produced DVD be read on the Zenith?

It's possible that your Zenith has "kicked-the-bucket".

HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N. Can not write to DVD

The DVD -R +R means that you can read these types of DVDs that have been created elsewhere, it doesn't mean you can write to your DVD under the format of -R or +R. The CD is a CDRW which means you can read and write to CDs.

I don't think that a factory Satellite P100 has the ability to write to either DVD -R or +R, but to only CDs. I have a P200 that has a DVD -R +R/CDRW and it can't write DVDs. These DVDs you put in are for read only. My Toshiba A215 can but it's a DVDRW/CDRW.
