INTRODUCTION

An update is available the Universal Disk Format (UDF) file system driver (Udfs.sys) for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2.


This update fixes the following issues in Udfs.sys:
  • Issue 1

    You try to back up some large files to a DVD-RW by using Windows Backup in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2. However, the backup operation fails, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:
    Logical Block Address Out of Range (SCSI_ADSENSE_ILLEGAL_BLOCK).
    Additionally, the Eject function does not work. Therefore, you cannot eject the DVD-RW by following these steps:
    1. Click Start, and then click Computer.
    2. Right-click the DVD-RW drive, and then click Eject.
    Note For detailed steps on how to back up files to a DVD in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2, see the "How to back up files to a DVD in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2" section.

  • Issue 2

    You format a DVD+/-RW in the "Like a USB flash drive" format, and then you write some files to the DVD+/-RW. After you eject and then reinsert this DVD+/-RW into the DVD+/-RW drive, you cannot write a file to the DVD+/-RW. Additionally, you receive the following error messages:
    An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.
    Error 0x8007045D: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
    Note The "Like a USB flash drive" format is a kind of UDF format.

  • Issue 3

    You format a DVD+/-R in the "Like a USB flash drive" format. When you try to write files to the DVD+/-R, the writing speed is very slow. For example, on a computer that is running Windows Vista, it takes about 20 seconds to write a 100 megabyte (MB) file to a DVD+/-R. However, in Windows 7, it takes several hours to write the same file to a DVD+/-R.
