I have a dvd r/rw drive (HL-DT-ST-CD RW GCE-8483B) that does go haywire. I format it to DLA and it works fine shows there is not anything on the drive. I shut my computer down and restart it and then it shows there is not any free space on the disk. Running Windows XP personal with 1 gig of memory, processor 2.6 intel. Does anyone have any idea what my problem is?

Thanks for your time.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear. There was a dvd disk in the drive all the time. Even right now there is a disk in the drive but it shows that it is full and I know that it is blank. I have, since posting the first time, checked for updates for the drivers but the lastest is there already.

The DLA is the format that is used with Sonic disk writting program.

I just put a regular CD in the drive and the drive reported that the disk was full and I know that is not the case.

Thanks for your time.
