Got a dvd drive recently, burned three data dvds fine then bam! Can't write DVDs, keep getting an error message about disc-at-once, I've enabled disc-at-once to no avail. Please help me as its driving me mad. I know a lot of people post these error logs but I can't make out any which are similar to mine if there is one my apologies. Much, much thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 13:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.0.0 (Nero Express) Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DW-Q28A> Version: KYS3 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.0.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

The burn failed because for whatever reason nero could not format the disk. They are ritek +rw right? Try to format them before burning. I like the RICOHJPN +rw disks and use then a lot mostly in my set top dvd recorder. I do sometimes have to format in dvddecrypter though. For some reason nero sometimes will not format one of them for me as well.
Clean the disk with DVD-RW make sure you do a full format not a quick format like i said try better disk and they aint Ritek unless im missing something they are Ricoh
Thanks ever so much for your feedback and apologies for how long its been since. I am using DVD+RWs and I have tried just a quick erase on the discs I wasn't able to write on. Forgive my ignorance but ridata doesn't mean anything to me, I just know discs by brand, is info as to if they're RICOHJPN somewhere on the case/box?
Ridata is just the brand of rw disk I use on my set top recorder because it likes them. Ricohjpn is the media id meaning they are made by ricoh in japan for ridata in my case. In your case ricohjpn is who made the disks for whatever brand the disks are. Nero info tool or disk identifier will show you the true id of disks and then that id will give you info to go on to see who made them.
