Can't write to or format DVD's in Plextor PX-755SA
Windows Vista 64 bit / Plextor PX-755SA / 4 GB memory /
Several months ago, I lost the ability to write to my Plextor. I have installed the latest firmware (v107), installed Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 upgrade as recommended and provided by Plextor. I was using the Roxio 'Drag-To-Disk' feature to back up my daily photography. After filling up a DVD-RW and inserting a new disk as I had done many times, I suddenly got the 'can't format', or 'no disk in drive' messages (or similar) from both Roxio, and also from Windows Vista when I use the default Microsoft process. I've tried all the different disk formats that are supposed to be compatible with the Plextor. No idea what to do next. Help appreciated, and thanks - IM

Is your drive recognized in Device Manager with no problems?
If you get an error code, you could try the fix he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/929461/en-us -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Imageman" wrote in message ...

Can't write to or format DVD's in Plextor PX-755SA
Some people have had luck with issues like this by deleting the INFCACHE.1 file
in C:\Windows\inf. If I were you I would rename the file INFCACHE.1.BAK (or move it to your desktop temporarily), reboot, and see if the problem persists. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

Can't write to or format DVD's in Plextor PX-755SA
Cal - Not only did your advice and the drive work, my big stack of CD and
DVD 'coasters' formatted, and are now functional again. I'm a photographer, and my workflow calls for a daily copy of the days work on DVD's, and they go to a location out of my studio. I get very nervous when I can't do the backup - Thanks again :-) - IM "Cal Bear '66" wrote in message ... You're most welcome. Great news that you got it to work.
