Hello,
I have been trying to erase a RW DVD with no success at all.

I have tried several times with different types of DVDs, but nothing really helped.
So i thought: perhaps it's time to try something else, so I used VSO ConvertXToDVD, and nothing changed. Afterwards I installed CLONE DVD, and the result was the same. I even tried with nero and with the windows 7 application and still nothing changed. I get always the same error, 'unable to erase disc'.
I got this laptop in September and this was my first attempt at trying to erase&burn a rw dvd.
What could it be?
Thanks in advance for any responses,
