Can you create a 2GB (or thereabouts) ISO on your HD?

So:
New DVD R/W (which the PC can see)
New S/Ware
We'll assume your using DVD recordable media!!!!

Check the connections between DVD & motherboard, in particular look for bent, misaligned, missing pins

Make a DVD from the ISO you created

I ran across this article that may or may not help but thought I'd offer it up.

CD-R drive or CD-RW drive is not recognized as a recordable device

We've established the DVD can record.

I have to take the view that when you try to create your DVD you're making a mistake in the parameters, size would be my first thought then speed etc

Use a wizard is my next advice...............
