Problems formatting CD-RW Iniziatore argomento: HRiley

Hi, I thought I\'d been very clever by buying rewritable CDs for storing data archives, rather than the cheaper one-use kind...
But I can\'t work out how on earth to format them so that they can actually be used. My PC runs in Windows XP, and when I insert the CD into the drive, I get no option to format it via Windows.
I downloaded InCD, a \"packet-writing\" application from Nero, which is meant to be suitable for formatting blank CDs... but ... See more Hi, I thought I\'d been very clever by buying rewritable CDs for storing data archives, rather than the cheaper one-use kind...

I\'ve spent hours trying to find information on the Web but to no avail. Thanks ▲ Collapse | | | | Uldis Liepkalns Lettonia Local time: 22:10 Membro (2003) Da Inglese a Lettone + ... I use CD RW regulary, AFAIK, they do not need to be formatted, | May 6, 2003 |
just write and that\'s all, when you want to rewrite it, go to menu (in Easy Cd Creator 5.1, I think it doesn\'t much differ in NERO) and select when it\'s ereased, just write anew... I have several discs I have ereased and written more than 100 times, and still all\'s OK. [addsig] | | | Problem with DirectCD? | May 7, 2003 |
I got Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4/Direct CD with my Dell desktop (Windows 2000 Pro), but when I try to insert a CD-RW created with Direct CD (using the drag-and-drop function) in my Windows XP laptop, I get the message that Direct CD will make my laptop\'s operating system unstable. So there is some kind of incompatibility there. The CD-R ones I make with Easy CD seem to work OK on XP - it just unpacks the folders and I\'m ready to go. Maybe your program is incompatible also?

This CD-RW thing is really not as simple as it seems. My desktop\'s burner reads Imation-brand CDs just fine, but if I get Memorex-brand CDs (same kind), it refuses to even recognize that they are in the CD drive.
Go figure! ▲ Collapse | |

Well, I tried the procedure as explained in the Windows help page, but I couldn\'t get Windows to recognize the CD in the drive as valid (and therefore write to it). I tried the Nero Burn ROM software but it doesn\'t want to recognize the CD in the drive either. I had another attempt using InCD and the same thing happened. Then I read Daina\'s post - and it sounded pretty familiar to me, as I\'m wondering whether the problem isn\'t caused by some weird incompatibility betwe...

I guess I\'ll have to keep trying! ▲ Collapse | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Problems formatting CD-RW CafeTran Espresso | You've never met a CAT tool this clever!
