No. The laser in a CD burner is too wide to write to a DVD properly.

Cd writers can only play CD disks. Cd writers cannot play a DVD disk.

CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
First Answer:Sadly, you can't.Second Answer:Actually, most disc drives are backwards compatible to the last disc. So, DVD drives can read/write to CD and Blu-ray drives can read/write DVD and CDRs.It does not work the other way around. You can't read/write to a DVD if the drive is marked as a CD drive.
