754769 2009-03-08 20:44:00 I recently burned Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit to two separate DVD's.

This was successful and I installed bith of them. (not at thr same time)

Now a couple of weeks later I find both disks are blank. Windows can not find anything on them. My burning program says they are blank and are NSTL formatted.
At the time I did these disks I also did three other disks which are still OK.
Can anyone offer any sort of an explanation?

Is it MS being nasty, making them "one use only" ?

But my guess would be the disc quality aswell.

754773 2009-03-08 23:45:00 Were the DVD's left in any light Eg: on the desk / shelf where sunlight can get to them - they can be damaged that way even if in a case. wainuitech (129)
754774 2009-03-09 00:25:00 I suppose heat could damage them as well.

754776 2009-03-09 06:28:00 I've also been having the same problem with a spindle of Verbatim DVD+R's. :(

I've had heaps of Verbatim CD's which have gone really well but not the DVD's

This was my thought as well.

Can't say i've ever seen a disc completely drop all its contents and report as blank again. I've had plenty with bad files on them that can't be read.
