Problem with rewriting DVD+RW media

[preddy97]

I am having problems rewriting the DVD+RW media (Imation).
Burning software: Nero 6.0.0.11
DVD writer: LG GSA-4040B [FW A301]
DVD+RW: Imation [DVD+RW: CMC MAG-W01-00]

I do not have a problem writing to the DVD+RW the first time but the next time when I try to write to the DVD+RW, Nero gives me the following message:
This disc is not rewritable and therefore cannot be erased

10:14:25 AM #22 Phase 101 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1843

Can someone please help……I am stuck with about 25 DVD+RW that I need to rewrite.

The First thing I would do is update my NERO you are a few releases back. Have you tried to do a Full Erase? Or are you just trying to record over what is on the disc?

[tompika]

1. Dont use CMC media. My Imation DVD+RWs are RICOHs

2. Use the latest Nero

3. Quick erase with DVDInfoPRO or DVD Decrypter (rightclick on drive) before writing

[preddy97]

Man you guys are tooo good.
I updated my Nero software to 6.0.0.28 and now i can rewrite to my imation DVD+RW.
