Re: [Thinkpad] T40 CDRW Media?

Have you tried the media in another machine? It sounds as if your
problem is in the drives... based upon what you have described. I
repair and test these machines all day long. I have not seen this
problem in the media, but have seen it in various drives at various
times... though not in a Thinkpad.

I purchased Memorex 700 MB 4X CDRW's and clicked away to format using IBM DLA, which failed with a "Format failed due to media write protect". I also tried CDBurner XP Pro and got the same error message.
