olaf Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Are you possibly using a CD-R on a CD+R drive or CD+R on CD-R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin19 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Are you possibly using a CD-R on a CD+R drive or CD+R on CD-R? No such thing as a CD+R. Nooo man its a DVD drive i put in a DVD+R to burn a movie file. and its saying its CD n then when i click burn its saying its Full It's likely that the drive doesn't like the media and can't use it properly. Does it do this will all DVDs? Try updating your firmware as these usually include additional media types to improve the scope of your burner. Also, try to stick to DVD-R instead of +R whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 This issue has been resolved, he brought it to my house (Where I gave it a thorough wiping). The problem is Windows itself doesn't see the drive as a burner, burning software will (should) though.He was trying to use the built in Burning in Windows for file archiving. I haven't heard from him since he was here, so I'd imagine the issue truly is resolved. OP is my brother FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
