Perhaps try a different brand, Verbatim, for example. Memorex has a less than stellar reputation for quality, at least in this board.

What program, in the suite, are you using, and why are you trying to format the disc?
Your DVD-RW quite possibly, has outlived it usefulness.

I'm using Drag-To-Disc. I am trying to format the DVD-RWs because that's what the program tells me to do. The DVD-RWs are brand new.

A. Memorex is one of the least realiable brands of recording media available, based on posts to the Forums.
B. Packet-Writing (Drag2Disc, Sonic's DLA, Nero's InCD, etc) is one of the least-relliable long-term archiving programs available, altho it's ok for short-term usage like transferring files from one comptuer to another when the original is safely on the originating computer and there are no other options - such as a Flash drive - available. When used with RW media, it is even less reliable.
C. Further info in this post pinned to the top of this Forum -

What operating system are you using? Do you have Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Media Player 11 installed? If you do, therein is the likely culprit.
Also, do you have any other packet writing software such as Nero's InCD, or Sonic's DLA installed? If you have more than one packet writing program on your comptuer, they will conflict.

How about making a data disc using Creator Classic - discs are cheap these days, and that would mean that you end up with your data backed up on disc as well as on your Hard Drive - I've had a Hard Drive fail and take everything with it.

"doesn't work" tell us nothing. Give us some details of what you are trying to do. The more info you give us the sooner we can try to help. Did you try a different brand of DVD's, When you tried Creator Classic did you receive any errors, details,details.
Maybe a step by step of what you are trying to do.

I got two errors saying 'D: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-716A ("Seek, synch, ATIP or mechanical positioning error - Hardware error." [04/09/02]' The DVD-RW was then ejected from the drive.
I am trying to store info on a disk so I can transfer it to another computer. I did not try a different brand of DVDs because I don't have any.

Either the burner is reaching the end of its career, or it is having trouble with recognizing the media, which could be caused by the media being bad (hence the suggestion to try a different brand...already suggested in earlier post).
Make sure your firmware for the burner is updated. If it is, then go to Device Manager, delete your burner, reboot, and see if the problem is solved.

SK 4, ASC 09, ASCQ 02 is the error message the drive gives to the computer to signal a focus servo failure.
If your drive can't focus on the disc any more, nothing good is going to happen. I believe it's time you considered a new burner.

The Plextor PX-716A was a good burner, for awhile. I had one, and it died completely, 14 months after I got it, and I didn't burn very many DVDs with it. Possibly 40. You can try some +R discs, but it is possible that your Plextor croaked.

I guess I'll have to try other DVDs. I used the CDBurnerXP software and it said the DVDs could be poor quality.
