lfcrule1972 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Mmm are they actually DVD+RW (rewritables) or are they DVD+R discs with a small silver and black RW symbol on them ? I have noticed before that some of my DVD+R's, which write once, have the small RW symbol on them away from the main disc name etc. It could be quite confusing..... Easiest way to confirm is to look at the box or spindle they came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batwell Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 I used Imation DVD+RW 4.7GB 25pk Spindle but i heard some programmes might have closed the discs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Which programs ? If you pop one of the previously written discs into the drive and then open ImgBurn you can try to burn to them and see what happens. My guess is that ImgBurn will ask to format the discs and then you will be ok Should this not happen a full ImgBurn log together with a copy+paste of any error message will be really useful.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Closing a disc doesn't mean you can't then erase it. Erasing should always be possible, no matter what you do / don't do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
