Erase DVD with Nero

[mick4545]

Can't figure out how to do this. The 'Erase' button is grayed out and I can't overwrite files either. Any clues.

um, in nero express, there's a "more" button on the left to bring across a hidden pane? it's in there for me

Right, found that but it says "Disk is not rewritable" It is, I have tried several disks.

Edit: I'm using a 6 months old Sony/NEC Optiarc RW.

do you have to format it first?

 

[mick4545]

I'll try that, but I have written files to it so I would think it is allready formated.

not sure if possible, but can you finalize re-writables?

 

[mick4545]

OK, tried to format, got the message "Disk is write protected" so we're getting there. All I need now is how to dissable write protect. Havn't done that since I used 3.5 floppies.

the media you're using, it is round or square?

Still no joy. I'll ask in the Optical Storage forum if anyone with the same burner has the same problem.
