dvd+rw 4.7gb before burn: Free: 5.33gb Used: 0gb dvd+rw 4.7gb after burn: Free: 0gb Used: 0gb i'm currently using BenQ 4.7gb 4X dvd+rw, sony dvd-writer, winXp Pro I did successfully managed to burn 5 dvds without a hitch. But on the 6th attempt after i completed burning of a data-dvd, i discovered that there were no files on the dvd+rw... it's was blank, it was like brand new.. except the properties of the dvd+rw i'm using nero vision express 3, trying to burn data-dvd. Any help is greatly appreciated, i'm suspecting that it might be a OS problem.. wat do u guys think? P.S. There was also no error messages during the burn process, i even had the disc verified. Showing "Burn Process 100% complete".

Edit out your serial number Your DMA needs to be on, go here for a guide to turn on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 It is recommended to have 512 meg RAM for successful burning, I would suggest upgrading. Not very good discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan)
