I thought the Superdrive in the 1GHz 17" ALBook was a DVD-RW and CD-RW drive.

Was I mistaken or is there a problem with my setup? System profile shows I have a Matshita DVD-R UJ815 drive.

Is my drive DVD read only?

That would really suck.

The drive you have will read CDs, DVDs, and also burn CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs.

Apple only officially supports DVD-R burning (IE, write once discs), but I have used DVD-RW (write and erase to write again discs) in my Powerbook drive with no problems. I have the same model drive as yours here in this 15 inch Powerbook.
