    Greetings everyone,
    I hope someone here can be of assistance as I am a newb and growing frustrated. I have recently reformatted and reinstalled windows on my computers. Since then I have not been able to burn anything to a dvd-r disc or back up anything to a disc. I formatted under RAW and don't know if that means abything to anyone. I have updated all drivers on all disc drives. This seems to be across the board on all my computers. I am using the sony dvd-r discs that I used before with no problems, that was about 2 years ago though.

    The drives recognize the disc as a dvd-r but have 0mb under space and also size. Under properties it says that the drives are not capable of burning but they were before and I have the enable box checked under properties.

    What could I be missing? I am up to date windows xp sp3 anything else... I have a feeling there is something in the rom or bios that is preventing me from writing to discs

    Thanks in advance!

    Wow,
    I wanted to thank you for your insight and for not flaming me for what appears now to be obvious. I was wrong about XP and that`s where the confusion came from. Thanks again! :)

    For pay programs, Nero 7 is good, skip nero 8 though

    Okey-dokey.

    Flaming isn't encouraged at Afterdawn.
