    I'm having problems with my DVD RW.
    It's a HP Multibay II 8X Dual Layer DVD±RW 9.5mm Drive Burner.

    For some reason, it'll read disks, it'll erase RW disks but it won't write them, it'll say please insert a blank cd / dvd.

    I figured it was probably a hardware issue so I replaced the drive, but now the new one is doing the same thing :(

    Any ideas?

    Had a problem similar to this but the problem was with the software I was using to burn the DVD. Once I re-installed it was fine, but I had tried to use a few different types of software to burn the DVD, and once I had re-installed the main one I used, it was ok afterwards.

    azezil, have you tried writing using different software?

    Try and write an image or a few files out using (safe & free)

    ImgBurn is software released by the author of the popular (discontinued) DVD Decrypter.
