Formatting blank CD's
Help please, im unable to burn music from my laptop, i have vista basic and
until now ive had no problems. I insert a blank cd and it auto loads, then it asks to format before continueing, i click yes, it formats then right at the end it says unable to finish formatting and opens the cd. I then try to burn onto it and the cd stays blank. Any ideas?

When i put in a blank cd for writing files or pictures to it, the auto load pops up and asks me to write file to cd etc, when i click this option it tells me the cd needs to be formatted in order to continue. it then trys to format and fails. Does this make sense?

Does this make sense? Does this happen with EVERY CD? Have you tried another brand?

Also in control panal under hardware it says the dvd/rw is working correctly so could it be a software problem?
