25gb DVD Question

Post by Bill Ford »

Running Vista 32 bit, I have installed a bluray drive (OEM) It works fine with all but the 25gb discs. I have tried 2 different brands of discs. Do I need a special program for this, I got this drive to store pictures, and "stuff" I don't want to lose due to comp (or me) malfunctions. I have tried to force it but gives an insert disc popup.

Thanks, Bill

What is the brand/model of the Blu Ray drive?

Also, what program are you using to burn the discs?

According to what I find, this is a Blu Ray PLAYER only and not a Blu Ray burner. It will burn DVD and CD's.

If you bought it specifically to burn Blu Ray discs return it and get a model that does.
