| 697023 | 2008-08-13 09:00:00 | Hi All. I have a couple of Imation DVDs that I had used to backup this computer. I am trying to re-format them, to get rid of the data on them, & ready them for use again. However, when I put one in the DVD m/c, the computer locks up. What is happening, please? PJ |

| 697025 | 2008-08-13 09:21:00 | Sorry. They are DVD+RW. Using an Imation DVD m/c. If I put Nero DVD format on screen then put the DVD in, the comp locks up. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||

| 697028 | 2008-08-13 09:44:00 | So no matter if you have Nero running, or have nothing running at all, when you put a dvd in the machine freezes? Or only freezes when Nero is running and you put in dvd? does it unfreeze again when you eject the dvd or do you have to reboot? |

| 697030 | 2008-08-13 09:53:00 | Have you tried some other dvd's in it - a blank and/or a previously working ok one? *EDIT* Not a RW |

| 697031 | 2008-08-13 10:02:00 | Just did & works Ok. Looks like two in the rubbish bin!!. Would still like to know why, tho'. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 697032 | 2008-08-13 10:05:00 | Have you tried them in a different PC? Don't just throw away backups - unless you can make new ones right away :) |
