Brownie Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I tried to write a disc on my DVD + RW disc but half way through I got an error message and couldn't carry on the process. Now I have half of the contents on the disc and when I try to erase those contents i get this: I 14:46:53 Quick Erase: No I 14:46:53 Format Properly: Yes I 14:46:53 Format Size: Preferred I 14:46:53 Erasing Disc... E 14:46:53 Failed to Erase Disc! - Reason: Cannot Format Medium - Incompatible Medium E 14:46:53 Operation Failed! - Duration: 00:00:00 Can anyone help me on how I can fix this so that I can erase the files on my disc?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Post ALL the info from the log window please, not just a bit of it. If your drive doesn't want to erase the disc then there isn't much you can do about it (assuming the firmware is up to date etc).

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Ok well that's not a rewritable disc so it's bound to fail!
Brownie Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Ok well that's not a rewritable disc so it's bound to fail! Isn't it? DVD+RW, I thought that was!! DAM!!!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 DVD+RW discs are rewritable but that MKM-003-00 disc isn't one of them! (It's a DVD+R DL disc)
