A couple of my DVD+RWs say "Unformatted Disk" in the burner window when I try to use them. I looked up "Formatting DVDs" in Google and was told: 1. Insert a disc into your computer's CD or DVD drive. 2. In the dialog box that appears, click Burn files to disc. 3. In the Burn a disc dialog box, type a name for your new disc. 4. Click Show formatting options, and then click one of the following formatting options: Live File System Mastered Click Next to prepare the disc. All goes fine until I get to step 4. There is absolutely no place to click "Show formatting options". All I have available is "How do you want to use this disk?": one, to use as a USB flash drive, and two, with a CD/DVD player. I select option two and when I click "Next" I get a window asking for files to be burned. How the heck do I format these disks so I can use them again? They have been used before, so I know they were formatted when I got them. They are Sony DVDs, so they aint some cheap knock-off. jetjock
Never mind, just in case anyone had ever planned to answer this. Nero Burning Rom formatted it just fine. jetjock
