    DVD-RW formatting option not available on blank disk


    This problem has never happened to me before, and I have followed guides to this, and none of the solutions work. When I insert a new Verbatim DVD-RW into my DVD burner, windows pulls up a dialog box when I try to open the explorer:any help would be appreciated!

    :)

    DVD+RW Formatting software needed!

    I need a name of software to format a DVD+RW disk?

    Nero 6 doesn't have the option to do it!

    Any ideas anyone?
