I'm unable to format DVD rewritable media in the File Explorer. (I can burn
from other programs.)

I would like to copy backup files to disk -- and to use this basic
functionality! -- but I'm having the issue described in Knowledge Base
article KB931654, namely that my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium fails
to format optical media.

Apparently there's a hotfix, but you have to write or call to find out about
it. I don't have the time at the moment to go through that process, so I was
wondering if anyone else had had this issue, and more importantly, if anyone
has a solution.

Thanks!
