TSGL: DVD-RW & CD-RW not writeable

[Ron Brunton]

Thanks John,

I did look at the Info and it reports rewriteable media. I even tried
erasing and formatting and both claimed that another process was using the
disk. I couldn't discover that other process and the "other process" was
interfering even with nothing else running. 

I have put my data and system on different drives and I lost patience and
did a clean install of WinXP. The disks are again writeable. So there was
some software conflict.

Thanks all for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

Ron

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.

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
