    That's a Blue Ray disc, means high-density/definition(HD). Since it is a 'ROM' then it's a 'read only' drive, no burning of any type possible. You would need something that says RW for (Read-Write) at the end like a 'DVD-R/W'. I think the best thing is to post the exact Sony model here so that folks can take a look for you and maybe suggest something else that'll work for you.
