Permanent Disc Protection

Whenever I put in a DVD-RAM, it says "UNFORMAT" then if I try to format it won't allow me to, saying "contents are protected etc.." Disc Protection is also "ON". The thing is, this happens for newly bought discs fresh out of their wrapping! Any ideas?

Same problem as ad man - DMR-E75 works fine with osem exisitng discs - but comes up with error message ' Unformated disc' when brand new DVD RAm disc inserted. Trying to format, the machine indicates 'Disc protection is 'ON' and does not allow to turn off. Net result disc's are unuseable.

Is this a falut on the disc read/laser, that a clean may reslove. ?

My sony ereader is saying the disk is write protected and will not let me put any books on it. please help.

If a CD is write-protected, it means that it is closed. Or possobly not
formatted.
[[CD-R stands for Compact Disc-Recordable and can be recorded only once.
You may continue to add files until the CD is full as long as the disc is
not closed (write-protected). You cannot delete, rename, rearrange, or
alter the files or file structure on the CD after recording.]]
Open CD:
[[If a CD is open, it means that further information can be added to it. It
is not write protected.]]

Closed CD:
[[If a CD is closed, it is permanently write-protected. No further
information can be added to the disc. Closing a CD is analogous to moving
the write-protect tab on a floppy disc to the write-protect position.
However, unlike floppies, you can only change the write-protect setting on a
burned CD once. Once the disc is write-protected (closed), this setting is
permanent.]]
You can try this one:There is this program called sound taxi it is suppose to remove write protection. link is here http://www.soundtaxi.us/download.html
