DVD-RW drag and drop problems??

[bcsman]

I have a BENQ 1620 DVD-RW burner and am trying to use a formatted DVD-RW disk to store video files on temporaily. It's formatted with Instant CD-DVD which went OK. As soon as I try to either copy or move any file onto the DVD-RW I get the error message "cannot copy XXXX--this disk is write protected". Never had problems moving files to my CD-RW disks--why am I getting this message?? How the heck can a DVD-RW be write protected and how can I get rid of it??

I have Windows XP SP-1 and the disks are TDK 4.7 GB 4X DVD-RW.

My very personal recommendation: get rid of all that packet writing software junk - it tends to mess up your system. Instead burn your files to dvd-rw and simply erase it when it is full.
