Can't get 800MB CD's to work...

[Sia.G]

If anyone ever bought 800MB blank CD's you might be able
to help. I bought some 800MB blank CD's to burn my
university assignments onto... yeah they can fit quite a
lot at times hehe.
Anyway, when I pop in the CD's windows (and Nero for that
matter) tells me that there is only 702MB on them like a
standar CD. Manufacturer and the actual casing (Good
quality CD's too) says that its 800MB. Nero also only
allows me to burn 700MB on them. Is there some setting I
have to change in windows (or Nero) for them to be picked
up as 800MB? Please help.

Your CD Drive must be capable of over burning also. If it isn't, all the
software in the world will not make it happen.

My burner is is very new, it can go up to 52 speed. How
do I overburn?
