[LIGHTNING UK!]

Are you 100% sure it's new and has never been used before?

 

Your drive certainly thinks there's something on it.

[aralston99]

Yes. New pack and tried several discs.

[dbminter]

Yeah, they appear to have already been written to but were not completely written correctly.  The incomplete sessions status is rather odd for a stack of new discs.

 

 

You might want to try some other DVD-R and see if it's your drive always returning this same information on all DVD-R.
