| 401647 | 2005-11-03 19:51:00 | This is not an urgent question... I was formatting a new disk DVD and kinda like half way through formatting, I cliked the CD drive which was formatting. and there was an error and now I cant access the disk at all. I cant even format it. When I try to format it, it says something like ' The disk is read only...etc' and when i double cliked the drive it says something along the lines of ' DVD not accessible'. I dont no wat to do now. :( |

| 401648 | 2005-11-03 20:04:00 | And why did u format the DVD?? I take it, you're putting files you've downloaded on it? / backing up files? And you have a DVD burner? If you put a cd with something on it, does it load?? The DVD burner itself is alright isn't it? You're just talking about the blank DVD? And how are you formatting this DVD? |

| 401649 | 2005-11-03 20:58:00 | Wat do mean y did i format it? Most of the times, when u buy new DVDs or CDs or even floppies u need to format it before u can use it. If I didnt format the DVD speedy I wouldnt be able to drag and drop files onto it. And it does load when I put stuff onto CDs. Drag and Drop is the same as kinda burning rite? Yes the DVD drive is alrite and its just my DVDs problem coz I opened the DVD drive while it formatting. I format the DVD by 'Right Click>Format' lol. puff...puff...puff.. Does that answer your questions speedy? lol :D So now can u help me? ^_^ Thnx :D |

| 401650 | 2005-11-03 21:01:00 | If you format a CD-R or DVD+R or DVD-R disc then you can't write any more data to it because they are write-once and a format is a write. You need to use CD-RW, DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs to format and then be able to drag'n'drop to the disc. |

| 401651 | 2005-11-03 21:06:00 | Im sorry Cyabro but its not like that on my PC. Im talking about drag n drop here not actually 'burning'. I HAVE to format it before I can Drag 'n' Drop becoz thats wat i usually do with my CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. If I do not Format it, and I try to access it, itll come up with a pop-up thing saying ' Disk not accesseble...' with a red circle and an 'X' through it. The only time i do not format DVDs is when i burn videos to it using Sonic. If I formatted the DVD, THEN itll not work with Sonic BUT will with drag n drop. | Naruto28 (7236) | ||
| 401652 | 2005-11-03 21:13:00 | Disable XP's burning, if this is what you're using . It sux . As it normally doesn't do DVD's by default, in XP . Use something like INCD, or directcd . Or just use Nero, select data cd, and leave the cd/dvd open (Tick multisession) . So you can add to it . |

| 401653 | 2005-11-03 21:17:00 | I'm sure there is a service called 'Mt Rainier' or 'Nero Incd' to format cd/dvds but ony the rewritable ones not cdr or dvdr...(so just to drag and drop to disc)...hey try re-booting you system mite fix the problem. Wat do mean y did i format it? Most of the times, when u buy new DVDs or CDs or even floppies u need to format it before u can use it.

| 401654 | 2005-11-03 21:24:00 | Mt Rainier is supported on some burners (its a feature) as well, but not all . But XP doesnt support this by default . But there are programs that use / support it, but they're not free . I've never used INCD, only directcd, which will format any cd/dvd . |
