| | Impossible to format BD-RE Hello all!! I have Windows Vista 64 bits ultimate with SP2 installed. I'm trying to format a BD-RE 25gb (LG) and it does not work, Windows tries to format and then says "unable to complete the format". What should I do? Do other brands of BD-RE work? Thanks Gz |

| | Re: Impossible to format BD-RE Windows Vista does not support native burning to any Blu-Ray media. You'd need a third-party program to accomplish this.

When Microsft announces SP2 supports blu ray writting, it does not mean there will be a Microsoft software handling the job, it's just drag and drop through Windows Explorer, aka "packet writting".
