Hello everyone today I bought some DVDs DVD-RW I used it to check out to check a couple of things out.  I did not write that much to the does only a couple of hundred megabytes.  Then I wiped it to put up bigger project on.  When I try to write to the disk.  It told me there was not enough space on the disk any suggestions what I can do about this.  The shop said they will replace it.  But I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions.  Just in case this happens again, as I'm guessing, if I tried to format it with d2d installed.  It will want to format it as that type of this

Thanks in advance Michelle

If you format any disc Michelle (CD-R, RW, DVD-R, etc) it will automatically become D2D - no options on that

In general, if you use Creator or any of the other programs, you never format - put the disc in from the pack without douing anything

To wipe it - go to tools and there is an 'erase' option. If the disc was formatted and you want it back to 'out of the pack' status - do a full erase ( never a format)
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

I did not format the disk, that is what the shop told me to do but I did not.  But what has happened, for some reason, after using it for a short while it will not put anything on which is bigger.  After wiping the disc Michelle
