What should I do if I cannot write data to DVD-RAM media using Windows functions?

Canceling the Enable CD recording on this drive check box disables writing data to CD-R and CD-RW discs. To write data to such discs, make sure to select this check box.

You cannot add data to DVD-RAM discs with data already written by the Roxio DigitalMedia software due to difference in disc formatting. Attempt to add data to such a disc will re-format the disc, resulting in loss of the entire written data.
