[SOLVED] Windows refuses to let me close disk session

[Pc6777]

I already lost a 5 dollar disk due to the windows built in disk burner being inadequate and horribly built. I made a bunch of blu Ray data disks and they are all still open and windows will not let me finalize them. I tried finalizing one in third party software by adding a small file then clicking finalize disk, and it worked but destroyed all the previous stuff on the disk. These disks are expensive m discs and I'm not going to make another coaster. I need to know how to finalize the disks I already burned in windows, I will start using the third party burner software but I already burned a bunch and need to close them to use them in other PC's. When I right click the disk in windows there is no option to finalize, when I go into global settings and tick the boxes to finalize after burn/eject it still won't finalize. I have like 40 dollars in open disks I need to finalize.

did you burn the disks that woudnt close in windows then close them with software?

We are talking the early days of CDs then early days of DVDs. I never used the built in Windows crap (because I assumed it was crap). But it is exactly like the old days. I wasted a lot of cds/not as many dvds,but some.

Get better software. Sounds like Windows thinks you want to burn more and is not closing the session.

If Fireburner is still around and up to BlueRay,get it. Fireburner was my "not-gonna-make-a-coaster" goto software.

right now im using cdburner xp, I know its old but i just got a good burn and the disc closed after so I will stick with that for now. the built in windows burner is so bad its slow, doesn't close your disk most of the time and I expect a lot more out of a multi billion dollar company.

If it works, that is all that matters I suppose.

yep nothing but good burns with cdburnerxp, closes the disk every time, and I tested them a bit and launched stuff on the discs and they work.

So, like I said in the beginning, it's a software issue. Glad it was a relatively easy fix for you man.
