I have a retail LG 4120B Super Multi DVD drive. I originally
installed this drive under Windows XP and had no problem writing to
DVD-RAM discs. My Windows XP installation is now messed up and no
longer boots so I have to use my old 98 SE installation until I get
XP fixed.

I can read my DVD-RAM discs but I can not write to them. Every time
I try, I get a message saying that the disc is write protected. I
think the discs I am trying to write to are formatted fat 32.

I have installed all the software I can find on the installation
disc. I have looked at the LG web site and I did not find anything
helpful.

What do I need to do to write to these discs? I want to back up
some of my data. Thank you in advance for all replies.

The installation cd should have InCD 4:

I think you need to have the discs formatted as UDF 1.5 or 2.0

You have to install the dvd-ram driver that is on the cd that came with

the drive.

Use DVD-R or DVD+R blanks to back up your whatever it is you're backing up.
Permanent is the word you should be looking for DVD-RAM ain't permanent.

I do not think that driver is on the cd. I followed a link in the
message by smh <smhong@mindspring.com> and found a driver. I can
now write to the disks that I had previously formatted. I have not
yet tried to format a disc with Windows 98 SE.
