    Hi.

    I am currently trying to backup critical console data on my (very, very, very old) HMC (Version 4 :S) and as far as I understand I need to format the DVD-RAM disk before. So I executed the Format Removable media command and regardless of what is selected it fails with error ACT0001D - DVD is write protected. Found some documentation indicating that some switch in the lower-left corner should be in the lower position, but on my DVD drive, there is no switch at all.

    Anyone seen this here? The machine is an xSeries 335 with DVD Multiburner drive.
