Hi.

Sry for the newb question..I tried backing up elder scrolls oblivion last night. Everything went fine, and the first disc works perfectly.
Unfortunatly I went and made the mistake of backing up disc one twice:( So now I don't have a spare verbatim to copy disc 2 over. Can I format one of discs and re-use it?
The software I use gives me an option to "format disc" but I am worried that something will go wrong.
I am using the recommened verbatim dvd+r dual layers to make my backups:) If I can save money by resuing that would be good lol. if not, I better save my money.:)

Advice appreciated

sorry buddy it doesn't seem that you have dvd +r dl rw which means rewritable disk so looks like you have 2 copies of the same game maybe save it in case the first one goes to hell or just give it to a friend =) i can provide my mailing address etc lol.....kidding but yea you cant reformat or wipe a non rewritable disc =(
