I started creating a backup disk with a DVD R or RW, I'm not sure. Then I stopped it and now it has files on it and everytime I try to reformat to get rid of them, I get unable to complete the format. I even tried deleting the drive in device manager and reinstalled and it is still there. I am a new user to Windows 7 and not very experienced in drive tech. Please help!
Thanks Chris
