Thank James for your informative reply.
I am using InCD because it conflicts with DragtoDisk.
DragtoDisk also displays an error when I want to format
a defective CDRW.
Have you found InCd better than Roxio?
If so then in what features?

Yes I'm a bit late on this reply - but to add to Bernie's replies:
Nero InCD does the full format of CD-RW media as a background task -
either as you write to the 'blank' or 'erased' platter in CD-RW (Packet)
mode,
or while other things are happening
That's why there is sometimes a noticeable, or even reported delay when
you
try to eject a CD-RW platter -
It's the system either completing the formatting, or marking the platter
with information as to how far it got with the full formatting
You may notice that writing CD-R or DVD-R format to CD-RW or DVD-RW
using Nero reports verify fail on sectors 30 on
That's because the INCD process was formatting a RW platter it noticed
being
inserted after the main Nero process had written to it as -R media
Once InCD has recognised that the main Nero process is writing to the
platter ( found data and is erasing the disk) InCD won't do the format
again.
Re. verify -
I use Karenware DirPrt with MD5 hashing and Par's for recovery sets on
important data,
gives me a list on HD of what is on which platter as well as checking the
platter matches the data I wanted on it, and reports errors using
filenames
with the added benefit that the PAR set usually allows re-creation of the
occasional damaged file.
and check/ create new copies after the platters are 1 year old
They do deteriorate, and there are some DVD platters that are not sealed
at
the edges, and/or hub, so they let in damp, and fungus to destroy the dye,
they may even separate

Subject: Bad CDR media
I have come across a new CDRW that gave errors when doing full erase but
did
not give any error in quick erase.
I have never seen such behavior before.
Is there any way to make sure you CDR media specially non-rewritable to
make
sure that it will actually be readable or
writable?
I do know Nero and some other programs have an option to verify written
data
but how dependable is that?
