    Hi,using TDK440N with pinnacle instant copy on AMD 1400, 3/4 gig ddr ram and loadsa hard disk space.Two sets of disks(princo"ice"4x-R and ritek datawrite red 4x-R) I bought get refused by burner with message : error writing lead in, illegal request:cannot write medium - incompatible format.
    Is my burner a wuss or am I doing something wrong or are these disks pants please?

    i wasn't able to find out for sure, but your burner might be +R which means -R media won't work, ie "incompatible format".
