Formating 9.1GB MO disk receive 325MB/side

Hi all,
We format 9.1GB MO disk but the result is only 325MB/side.
In the past, we formated MO disk with no error.

Anyone knows what happended?

Thanks very much,
Hanh

We use HP Data Protector 5.5 to format MO disk. The default block size of drive is 64KB.
OS is Windows 2003 Standard.
