| | Disk (dvd rw) is write protected I used alchol 120% to burn a dvd rw and then after some time wanted to burn something else on it. but while formatting there is an error message saying " disk is write protected". With windows 7 ultimate i was able to rightclick and format the disk .... again i burn the same disk with my laptop having windows 7 home premium. IT IS AGAIN GIVING THE SAME ERROR. i have tried other softwares to erase or format that disk but it failed. i also read other posts regarding this matter on number of forums but no satisfactory answer. is there a security issue with alcohol 120% or is it windows 7 home Thanks Farooq |

| | Try uninstalling Alcohol, then burn with Imgburn or CDburnerXP (both are freeware, download them). |

| | Thanks for the reply. I think the problem is the way i burnt the image the dvd drive is showing the media type as DVD ROM not a dvd rw. Thanks again Last edited by marinerfm; 07-11-2010 at 10:40 AM.. Reason: spelling mistake |
