Hi all newbie here. I am trying to burn a copy of xp.i put the disc in,and click the write button,and it asks me to format the disc,i click yes,it gets to about 27% then stops and goes back to the beginning,i get a load of writing in the panel on the right,and then i click burn again,and it tels me to format,so i click yes,and it gets to 27% and does the same again,so far i have not managed to burn anything,i am using phillips dvd+rw discs. by the way i am using a brand new disc,never been written on.
