| can write to new DVD rewriter
I just purchased a LG GSA-E60L external DVD Rewriter. I have used it successfully on two laptops, but on the main laptop I use I cannot write to the DVD. I can listen to CDs, watch DVD movies, as well as view & open documents recorded to DVDs on one of the other PC. But when I try to moved, copy or save anything to the DVD, no luck. I think it is because the discs do not format when inserted like they do on the other PCs. the PC in question is a DELL Inspiron 600m. XP OS Any suggestions?? how can I format them manually?

| Re: can write to new DVD rewriter Hi and Welcome! this is a software problem. To use a blank DVD like a big floppy, you need to install software (Packet Writing software), which enables this feature. Normally, there is a copy of Nero with LG retail drives, which also contains the packet writing software InCD. Please note, that installation of InCD might interfere with other CD/DVD burning software. Please also note that packet writing in general is not considered as very reliable. Michael
