Why does Vista format CDR and CDRW disks before they can be used? Is there
any way of stopping this?

I believe that this is a result of having a 'packet writer' like Nero's InCD
installed.
As packet writing is not the most stable of processes, you might want to
uninstall your packet writer..

The only thing I can see is Toshiba Disk Creator - can't see a packet
writing option in that....

Actually, I think Vista's built-in burning capabilities now use Mount
Rainier. InCD is no longer needed for packet writing.

Look here:

Mount Rainier packet writing is now standard in Vista.

If it was Vista's built in facility, we would all get the same problem,
wouldn't we? The only time I get it is if I have InCD or something similar
installed.

If Vista wants to format the disc so that it can be used for packet writing,
I would not call it an error. I have never used the built-in burning
capabilities of any version of Windows (I've always used Nero), but I would
guess you do not either?

I use Cyberlink's Power2Go these days, but have used Nero in the past. I
don't rate the OS built in facility at all..
