There were some older DVD-ROM units that had a hard time reading DVD+R
media. If this is a new drive, it should have no problem reading DVD-R,
DVD+R, and the RW variants. Does it handle DVD-ROM? Does it recognize
CD-Rs? If it will mount CD-R and won't mount DVD-R, it has a mechanical
problem or a firmware problem. New drives should have neither of those
things.
Have you enabled booting from DVD in BIOS? You need to set the DVD to
be earlier in the boot order than the hard drive(s).
Yes, you have to do this. However, if it can boot from CD and not boot
from DVD, BIOS boot order is not the problem.
