Cddvd Drive Not Seeing Blank Media

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to create a Win 7 System Image on a DVD. The process begins and asks me to insert blank media greater the 1gb and I insert a blank DVD. I get the msg that there is "No media in the drive." I used unformatted and formatted blanks. I've done this on different laptops with the same result. It's happy with a CD-R but those are 700 mb. The computer formats one and then the Create System Image program gives and error msg that it's not big enough. I don't get it. You are supposed to put this image on a DVD, but the program doesn't recognize a DVD. Help... Gaw Guy

What is the model number of the DVD drive? Have you ever written a DVD with this drive? What type of DVD blank are you using (+R, -R, RW, dual layer).

 

Others have reported success using DVD-RW discs.

 

Maybe using an external HD would be faster and easier. :cool:
