Booby Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hello all, Ive been trying to use a LG BD25-LE BluRay disk and cannot seem to get it to erase completely. The one function I'd like to use in ImgBurn (v 2.5.0 currently), is the Format................... but I cant find it! Am I crazy or is the only way to Format a disk is to "Erase Full"? If so, Ive done this repeatedly (3~4 times) and once in while ImgBurn comes back with "disk needs to be formatted" messege. Any thoughts? Oh yes, here's the log; I 11:27:43 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 The supplied BD-RE disc is rubbish, buy yourself a Verbatim one.
