Thanks for the solution as I bought a Liteon drive for my notebook and YOU Have solved the problem: The only thing is that I tried a full format first this failed but when I ticked quick format everything worked fine.

You need to fast format (leave ticked)

Great

I am having trouble reading my DVD-RAM disks. The properties show the disk as being full, yet nothing appears in My computer once I am on the DVD drive window. I cannot format these disks and I suspect I recorded on them without formatting first. Nero or Roxio will not clear, format or erase these disks. How can I read these disks or clear or format them so I can use them once again?

I am always having trouble with DVD-RAM. As I write I have put a DVD-RAM disk into the Sony DVD-RAM drive. As before, when I put the DVD-RAM disk in the previous LG and Mad Dog DVD-RAM drive the DVD drive stated to blink continuously and then the computer would crash and/or My Computer would stop responding.
The first disk I formatted took about 10 minutes. The second is taking over two hours and shows no signs of stopping. I\\\’m sure if I try to close it or stop it the computer will crash, freeze, blue screen or whatever.
So I am not able to get consistancy with DVD-RAM disks.
Any help would be welcome.

I have lost the ability to use UDF formatted (RAM) discs like a floppy disc copying files directly to the disc.

I have also discovered that when I right click the CD/DVD-ROM icon the “Format” option is missing, and when I go into properties to alter the auto play actions, “Blank Disc” is missing from the list.

Are They Related? More importantly, how do I correct the problem?

I have unchecked “Enable CD Recording On This Drive” in the Recording Tab, but still no luck.

I was glad to find tis info- microsoft are somewhat silent on the subject. I wasn\’t aware that discs required formatting before I read this.

However, I disabled the CD writing as per instructions, but when I try to format I get error message \

nice info, thanks. so you have to cancel the enable cd writing at cd properties.

i really thought before that DVD RAM is the same thing like the RAM hardware in your PC (imagine 4.7 GB of RAM!). now i am not as ignorant as before.
