Dvd wont format and burn
Howdo. My dvd writer has decided to stop burn and formatting DVD's. It will format a CD fine. I have reinstalled the driver and done everything i can think of except restoring, which i dont want to do as i cant back anything up. My external burner doesnt work either.
Any suggestions????

I don't believe Nero can format DVD's at all. You would need a "packet writer" for that, like InCD.

What other burning or DVD programs do you have? They all load drivers on boot, running or not. If you have iTunes, try uninstalling it.
