I'm currently running the latest version of EMC 10 on Vista with RC 1 of SP 1 but the problem existed before installing SP 1. The issue seems that EMC 10 never closes a data disk when its done no matter if its a CD, DVD, or DL DVD. Once the burn is complete, I try reading the disk and get Prepare this Blank Disk. I've tried doing cancel and it never reads the disk and I've tried doing the prepare the blank disk and it ruins the disk so it can't be read at all. Has anyone ever had this problem before and fixed it. I've tried every setting available in the burning section with the same luck. If there is blank space on the disk after the burn and close, Vista seems to think it should still be available.

Depending on how your making the Data disc there should be one of 2 ways to close the disc.
If you used Data disc from the Home app the in the Options in the lower right you should check "I only nned the disc for one recording....".
If you used Creator Classic then when you hit burn under Burn Options,General make sure you check the box that says "Read-Only disc".
If those are checked then the disc should close not allowing any more sessions.
I'm not sure where the "Prepare the disc" is coming from.You used to need to format a disc when you used Drag to Disc but that's not in V10 so that shouldn't be a problem.
Vista's built in burning does require the disc to be formatted so maybe that's kicking in and not Roxio?

Vista is your problem!
It is intercepting the Burner info and going into it's built in Packet Writer program… You need to turn that behavior off from within Vista.

Thanks for the info everyone. But its seems it was Vista OR Roxio that was causing the problem. It was VMWare that caused the problem. Here's the fix:
During VMware installation, autoplay is by default, turned off, stating that the feature can have incompatibilities with some drives in VMware. From then on, both of my drives couldn't read discs. Whenever I would try to play one, I would get a dialog box, asking me if I wanted to "Prepare this blank disc". Having done nothing else to the computer besides the VMware install, I figured that it had something to do with the problem, and turned autoplay back on in the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom change "Autorun" value from "0" to "1"
Reboot system. After that the system reads the disks fine.
