TSGL: DVD-RW & CD-RW not writeable

[Ron Brunton]

Hi list,

I've just recently had my two DVD-RW drives stop recognizing rewriteable
media. I am using Nero Ultra 7.5 and I still seem to be able to burn CD-Rs.
I haven't tested DVD-R because I don't want to waste the DVD (yet). However,
InCD reports that I cannot write to the RW media and Windows Explorer shows
0 bytes free. This behaviour has just started recently, but I don't know of
any system changes that would have produced this effect, although there
obviously was something. I have re-installed Nero, but that hasn't made any
difference.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

System: Intel Core Duo w/ 4GB RAM
Benq DVD-RW
Sony DVD-RW
WinXP SP2 (fully patched)
