Ok, Problem here.

I have a set of Memorex 4x DVD+RW disks
Erased them using Drag-to-disk, full option after copying the data back to my HD
Now, neither of my recorders recognize the disks; I get "There is no disk in the recorder"

Can someone help me out here, would like to use the dozen or so disks for something else

I've had nothing but trouble with Memorex RW discs (really, all Memorex discs) but I assume you've tried other RW brands and they work?  Can Windows see your drives?

I've had nothing but good luck with Memorex disks till now; which is why I get them

This has also happened with a couple Comp-USA brand disks and one Imation.

Window's see's the drives, no problem (Win 2Kpro)

Any ideas?

Try erasing them again. If you have another drive or even another PC, try that.

Also try formatting one with D2D.

Best I have gotten from Memorex RWs is 50+ uses. Most fail by 20, and several at 3 uses…

Memorex does not have a single manufacturing facility in the whole world. They buy from the lowest bidder so quality varies wildly.

I had trouble w/ the memorex ultra speed DVD-Rw's. My DVD player is rated for the utlta speed DVD's.
What is strang, the memorex high speed DVD-RW's and Regular speed DVD-RW's work fine.

Well, tried that and got about 1/3 of the "bad" one's to format correctly

Maybe I'll borrow the wife's laptop and plug the NEC drive into it and try that

Note that all these have only one or two writes to them

Hopefully now that Imation bought Memorex, the quality will come up

I've used Imation for years with very few problems but for some reason, I don't think Memorex will get any better.

I agree with Paul.

The motives behind corporate buyouts is not to create a better competitor…
