help with dvdrw

[PWiddy]

Hey I used the Prasso PrimoDVD program to burn some data to a dvd-rw and when it was finished...in windows explorer it wouldnt' pull up the data on teh cd...just lists it as blank...Do I need to install a new driver or do dvdrws need to be formatted before they can be read in WExplorer or what?

do dvdrws need to be formatted before they can be read in WExplorer or what?

NO! Do not format the disk, or it will become useless.
What did Prasso say when it was done?
Does Prasso see anything on the disc?

[PWiddy]

um, prasso said burnt successfully....and prasso recognizes stuff on the disc...it's just WE that doesn't...aren't u supposed to be able to recognize the dvdrws in windows explorer and navigate them?
thanks for ur help

aren't u supposed to be able to recognize the dvdrws in windows explorer and navigate them?

Yes. If Prasso see's it, explorer should. Try removing it and reinserting it, and rebooting.

My Win98 tends to see DVD-r and RWs as having an audio track, even when they're blank. I open them up in Nero, and I get the actual contents. Windows tends to have issues with changing disc volumes if auto insert notification is turned off. Hell, sometimes when it isn't!
