Formatting Dvd+RW ??

[Tizz]

Ok Ive Formatted 1 Disc thanks to Cornholio7, Now what do I do once its done,?

Am I supposed to write it as well during Format?

 

After doing this, Will I need to Format all my Dvd+RW's?

 

Thanks

The program automatically takes care of formatting / erasing if it decides it is needed.

 

It's not something you should concern yourself with.

if the dvd+rw is formatted or unformatted all you have to do is:

 

1. Insert Disc in Burner.

2. Select Image to burn.

3. Click 'Write' button.

 

no need to manually choose Erase (quick/full), correct?

if you do it that way with an unformatted disc you will see this message

 

 

just press yes and it will start formatting

 

if you use a disc there is already something on you see this message

I went through the format dvd thing and it didn't work. It says, "DeviceIoControl (FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed! Device:[1:1:0] PHILLIPS DVD +RW-D28 1.29 (E:) (ATA)

Unable to lock volume for exclusive access.

Reason: Access is denied.

 

 

Help please!!

something else was open or had control of the drive .Close everything you have open and then try again

If the worst comes to the worst you can always ignore the error and IB will do it's stuff anyway ! That said, it's best to follow the links in corny's post and work out what has a handle on your drive tho !
