TSGL: DVD-RW & CD-RW not writeable

[jonpan]

Have you looked at Nero Toolkit/ Nero Info Tool, Ron?
Choose CD/DVD or CD or DVD at top right. What does it say about the disc?
Does it perhaps need erasing?
Since you have the same problem with two RW drives, it sounds more like a 
disc problem than a drive problem.

Subject: TSGL: DVD-RW & CD-RW not writeable


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)

Ron
