Roxio RecordNow Data Version: 2.0.4, Build: 204B37C, RCB
(the above is the as-delivered configuration)
As part of the file migration from the old PC to the new, I archived about 4 GB onto a DVD. Media is a TDK DVD-R 8X. The burn process went well, no errors. However, when I verified in the other drives on the new PC I found the following:
The Philips drive can read it but the TSST gives me a "Please insert a disk in drive D:." error. It's like it ain't even there. I then tested both drives in the new PC with other media (previously home-burned data CDs, movie DVDs) and all were read/played properly. Also, data DVDs created on the Philips drive using the pre-loaded Roxio Creator LE Dell Edition software were successfully read in all three DVD drives.
Since the Dimension was just delivered, I assumed the drive was faulty and called Dell support. They had a replacement drive delivered the next day. Swapped it out but nothing changed.
I haven't had the need to burn a data DVD before. Even if I did I had no way to verify the burn in another drive/PC until I got the Dimension, so I had no idea this issue existed -- especially since any CDs I burned were readable in any other drive, anywhere. While I can achieve my original archiving goal by using the new PC and transferring the files through the LAN, I still need to be able to burn DVDs from the old PC.
I guess my question is whether the issue is hardware-related, software-related or something else. Can anybody see the path to the solution?

BTW, this problem is similar to the thread:

but no solution has been posted there to date.
TIA.
