One of my DVD+RW disks suddenly went bad. I used it for several months, then suddenly a zero byte file named "Non-Allocatable Space" appeared. I reformatted the disk, and its properties show 4.7GB of used space and zero bytes of free space.
I have erased and formatted several times with no success. I moved my data on to a new DVD+RW disk without problems. Why did my first disk go bad?
Can I return the disk to the manufacturer and claim that it was defective? I think Memorex disks have a lifetime warranty.
I'm using Win XP with InCD 4.3.0.5.
Thanks.

I forgot to mention that my data is backed up in triplicate on 3 DVD+RW disks. The primary one that incurs most reads and writes has lasted over 2 years. It was backup disk #1 that failed.

Hey!!! Things don't last forever ya know!! If you only have one disk you are using and you want to make sure the data doesn't get lost, ---- BACK IT UP !!!! Use another disk or your other drives to copy!!! God Luck!!! Puta.
