hi all,
am new to all this dvd burning stuff :( but i have a problem my plextor 712a will not read watch cdrom data in explorer reads DVD-RW drive soon as i put the disks in it changes to cd-drive blank dvd+r or -r disks, tried Verbatim DVD+R-R maxwell DVD+R TDK+R i have updated the firmware/tools etc
i have tried CDRW burns fine
its strange i put the disk it will not read but if i go in plextor tools and select CD/DVD info it tell me disk info i.e. DVD+R 4.7GB space etc i've tried burning through P-tools fails (incorrect disk format) which ever disk i use

LOL! Whenever I feel bad about being single I'll keep that in mind!
I've got a suggestion, try uninstalling the drive through Device Manager, reboot and let windows detect/install the drive (no need to physically remove the drive). Many times this will clear up the oddities windows likes to throw at us when using a burner :)

hi Nephilim,
no joy, uninstalled reinstalled windows drivers doesn't see blank DVD+/-R disks because of this nero does not see the disks either well thats not true if i go to cdinfo it diplays DVD+R etc but on the cue sheets it displays stabdard CDRW space available
i have use third party software to test DVD buring all ok but i would like to resolve this issue with windows/nero anybody!?
phoned plextor tech support today! what a joke!!! waste of time, guy did'nt have a damn clue!.
If the problem is with Nero alone, it may help to uninstall/reinstall Nero. For whatever reason doing this sometimes gives Nero the Kick in the pants it needs.
Also, could you post the media codes for the discs you've used so far? This utility will give you the codes:
