I have Win 7 64 bit installed on my laptop as well as my desktop. System
images for both are on external HD's.
On the laptop, I have created a system image on blank DVD's using DVD-R's.
No problems -- I can restore from the DVD's.
However, when I try to create a system image on blank DVD-R's on my desktop,
I get a message saying something like, "format was unsuccessful." If I use a
DVD+RW the process runs to completion and I can restore from it. I had to
use RW's because I don't have any +R's.
I get the same unsuccessful message if I try to format a blank DVD-R with
Win 7.
My DVD burner on the desktop says it is a +R. Does that mean I can't
use -R's?
I have a feeling this is the case.
I've no idea whether this is a Win 7 problem, burner problem or a problem on
my part.
Thank you very much.
