4GB DVD+RW shows up as 648MB

[T.N.G.O.G.]

I guess windows98se is limited to using DVD+R discs right, because i put one in and it shows up as 648MB. I wanted to burn something or just put some files on the disc, but i can't with nero anyways. Haven't tried anything else.

Nope, I burn DVD+RW fine on Win9x. Empty the DVD and try again. If it still doesn't work, try to reinstall your ASPI drivers and check that Nero identifies your DVD burner correctly. What Nero version do you use?

[FishBowl]

There were / are many OEM versions of Nero around, that were made for and limited to CD writers.

Those won't be able to handle DVDs.

I'm not using DVD+RW, i am using DVD+R, all new. Do you have a link to the correct ASPI drivers to install?

Btw when i put in the disc now, nothing shows up. I am going to uninstall nero and just use 120 and reinstall intel application acclerator 2.3

!!!!!!!!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Using Alcohol 120 it says 4.7GB DVD+R DISC.

I will try to burn something and see does it work. Seems like nero is crap

Well, here you go for Adaptec ASPI layer 4.71 OR Nero ASPI layer. But if you can burn fine with another program, that probably isn't the problem so you should leave that alone.

IMHO, Nero is a fine program, but you need to find a good version.

Oh, and maybe you could edit your first post so that people don't mistakenly believe Win9x doesn't support DVD burning.

Poke around this server for lots of Nero goodies. Pssst, its a secret ;-)

i remember there was modified adaptec ASPI by Steve Gibson, that was good, but adaptec objects and went to stop it with lawsuit.
