DVD+R DL seen as DVD+RW

[barabula]

As stated in the title imgburn sees my DL as a RW and asks me to format it before writing.

Your drive is reporting it as one... see the 'current profile' bit at the top.

 

Eject and reinsert a few times to see if it sorts itself out.

 

If it doesn't, please copy and paste everything out of that box.

 

You could also try powering the pc off and on again. Totally kill the power, don't just reboot.

I know it's seeing it as one, and an unformatted one at that. Reboots, CMOS whipes even don't fix the issue.

Same thing if you boot into safe mode?
