Re: RW DVD - trying to erase get message that disc is not erasable !

Do you have Alcohol 120% installed?

This has an option "Ignore Media Type", which can cause writing software to
see a disk as DVD-ROM if it has been bit set that way.

Nero usually will bit set a RW disk as ROM to make it more compatible with
DVD players.

Blindwrite / CloneCD / ... : all refuse to erase ( either no media
inserted or media not erasable !)

Windows XP SP2.

First time I get such a message. DVD looks normal at eye eximination,
and contains data ( burned with Nero)

Have tried 3 different programs all stating same.

Any idea why ?

TIA

If you are using native WinXP cd burning, the DVD-RW can't be written/
erased.
You will need to use some other 3rd party software Nero(?) to erase a
DVD.
What did you use to write the DVD?

Good Luck.
