Just a wild guess, but I'd bet your version of Windows doesn't recognize the drive identifier string inside the burner's firmware. So Windows thinks it's a generic CD writer when you insert a disc. Your burning software obviously doesn't have this problem since it works correctly, and you say in another posting that Windows displays the DVD's volume identifier and shows the files when you insert a DVD with data on it.
Trying going to the System option in Windows Control Panel, then look at the Device Manager. You'll see right away what Windows thinks your burner is. It should report the device's model number and a variety of other characteristics. If they don't match the device, then the problem is that Windows does not recognize it correctly. Did the device come with any Windows drivers? Usually they're not necessary for a burner, but yours sounds recent enough (double-sided, for instance) that you might need to update the Windows driver to have it show the current information.
Since the drive works correctly with the burning software, and since you can access the files once the DVD is burned, this sounds more like a labelling problem than a problem with functionality.
