1. A software driven method for formatting a re-writable optical media (RW media), the method comprising:
receiving a request to format the RW media;
writing an ISO9660 image to the RW media, the ISO9660 image containing a Universal Disk Format reader;
writing Universal Disk Format structures to the RW media;
writing a write count table to the RW media, the write count table being configured to store a counter corresponding to each
packet defined on the RW media, a value for the counter dictating whether the corresponding packet on the RW media should
be verified to ensure integrity of data written to the packet on the RW media;
writing additional media file system structures; and
verifying the ISO9660 image, the UDF Universal Disk Format structures, the write count table, and the additional media file
system structures.
