Memorex CD-RW's Won't Format

[Eric Oxfeld]

My PD CD-RW drive will no longer format new Memorex CD-RW's. This problem started after a crash in the middle of a format operation. I don't have this problem with other brands of blank CD-RW's and it reads and records on Memorex CD-RW's I've already formatted, with no difficulty. My system is a pentium 90 running Win98. I've wasted almost an entire box of blank disks and I've got 2 more boxes I can't use. What can I do to correct this problem?

Obviously you have already rebooted your system, make sure all other programs are closed, also can you try a diffrent burning program. you didn't mention what you were usg but you might be able to reformat the cds with a different burning program.
