Trying to format DVD+rw K3B returns message "format failed"
I try re-inserting the disk to re-try and same message over and over...
Same if I try just burning DVD+rw without formatting.. K3B begins pre-formating
then fail message, and again if I re-insert disk to re-try same message over
and over.
Just once a DVD+rw completed burn, but when I re-inserted that disk after
"successful" burn it wont even read.. the machine doesn't even know there is a
disk in the drive!! The disk is now a coaster...
it happens every time!
If I burn a DVD-r or DVD+r, or CD-r burning completes perfectly and resulting
disk works without a problem, and no data errors etc.
Just DVD+rw that gives this trouble... and the same machine burned DVD+rw just
fine before I switched over from windows so I don't think my drive is at fault.
I have tried installing brasero and it has the same issue, I tried purge +
re-install of K3B and DVD+rw-tools etc but no joy.
Hardware:
Dell-Alienware M15x with PLDS DVD+/-RW DC-8A2SH optical drive
Running Linux Mint 16 KDE x64
