Question Please Help With New Windows Disc Burning.

[Seraph2]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help, ever since I upgraded to the new Windows
a few years ago none of my CD and DVD writing software wants to work properly.
I am unable to create multisession discs and sometimes I am unable to erase
my DVD+RW discs but eventually I did find a way to at least erase my DVD+RW discs
by using imgburn however after the disc has been erased I am unable to burn
or write to it again so now I am just sitting with a blank rewritable disc that I can’t
use. With the old Windows (98 & XP) it always used to be easy, it was just
a simple case of clicking on erase in the software and once the disc is erased
you just have to drag and drop your files and click on burn and it works.
I am at least able to burn to a normal blank disc but that is all I can do.
Please any help would be great thanks.

Will imgburn allow you to format those DVD RWs?

Have you tried Nero?

 

[Seraph2]

Imgburn does not have an option to format no,
and I have not tried Nero I will give it a try.

Every modern Windows will let you format (erase) CD-RW/DVD-RW. If all you can is burn CD-R/DVD-R, check your drive, it might be on its way to the heaven.

Formatting with imgburn:

Tools -> Drive -> Erase -> Full

or

Right click the drive selection box -> Erase -> Full

The drive has been doing that since it was brand new and other
DVD drives that I have had do the same thing with new Windows 8 and 7.

To format with imgburn

Tools -> Drive -> Erase -> Full

that is what I did and erasing does work if you do it that way but then
I cannot burn to the disc after that, it says something about rite protection
or something. Also you suggested that I should try Nero and I did try it
and it does the same thing but Nero won't even allow me to erase or format
at all, thank you for the reply.
