| 475506 | 2006-08-02 07:02:00 | My DVD writer is reporting blank dvds as having no free space to writre to, despite the fact that they do and have i have used them with my TV dvd recorder. This drives only a few months old. Would there be a chance that some software fault is causing this, or is my writer failing already? |

| 475507 | 2006-08-02 09:07:00 | And what program are you using to burn whatever to the burner? Dont count on XP to burn whatever to DVD. It doesnt support burning to DVD. Only CD. |

| 475509 | 2006-08-03 08:17:00 | Im using Nero and Ulead. And no Trev, blank DVD and CDs are meant to be reported as having free space avaliable. When i put a CD in it says 702mb free. Unofrtuntly it's not with dvds. | imarubberducky (7230) | ||
| 475510 | 2006-08-03 08:52:00 | Can you try and do a simulation to see if it would write using Nero? If it's DVD recordable you should be able to test that way. Is the DVD recordable for both + & -? If not, are the discs the correct bookype? Just a thought. |

Trevor pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Using XP Pro SP2 I get 702MB free and zero used with a blank CD-R. With a blank DVD +R I get zero free and zero used. I have no trouble reading and writing to both media. |

| 475513 | 2006-08-03 22:13:00 | What sort of media are you using?. I had a similar problem when trying to use cheap Dick smith brand dvds. Some dvd rw's just dont like certain brands of media. |

| 475514 | 2006-08-14 06:53:00 | Just for future reference (in case anyway ever searches before asking) the problem was caused by not having enough free hard drive space. So if you ever get this problem try freeing up about 10gigs and then burning. Cheers for your replies anyway. |
