Please Help! My drive won't format DVD+RW media

Postby Nisa on Wed Nov 05, 2003 4:07 am

Thanks for you help in advance.
I have MEMOREX Dual format DVD burner drive and I am using Nero Ultra 6.0 and InCD (also updated newest software from their web site). The drive does NOT format any DVD+RW media. I tried Memorex and Verbatim. It just gives some error messages.
However, it formats without any problem if I use the bundled software, which is Roxio software. But I don't wanna use Roxio.
Any idea why this is happening.
Thanks.
PS: I checked memorex web site , and no formware update for this drive.

If your Nero is up to date, try different erase modes (ie: Full erase or quick erase). Additionally, try erasing on different speeds so you can isolate where exactly the problem is.

Also if you have access try using Nero 5.x.

From your post though it looks like Nero/Drive incompaibility.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty. - Richard Lovelace

Try updating Nero to 6.0.0.19.
