Lately when I have a blank DVD-R in my drive, Properties shows it as full (no free space). This happens whether or not the disc is in the drive when I boot up. But I can still burn files on it up to its full capacity. This started happening about two weeks ago; before that, Properties would show the actual space available on the disc. (On the other hand, the free space on CD-R discs always is shown correctly) Is there a setting I can adjust to show the actual space on DVD-Rs?
