E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_NOT_FORMATTED
Some rewritable optical-media workflows require the medium to be formatted into a usable state before a format writer can proceed. This HRESULT says the recorder reports the inserted medium as not formatted; it is different from media absence, incompatibility, and an already-running format.
Re-evaluate media state and run the appropriate format workflow
- Record the physical media type and current media status.
- Confirm the selected IMAPI format supports the current recorder and medium.
- Perform the supported formatting/erase preparation for that media type before retrying the original operation.
Do not map this to a source-stream format error. The word “formatted” here concerns the optical medium state reported through the recorder, not ISO/UDF image syntax or file encoding. After formatting completes, refresh media status and capacity instead of relying on values cached before the operation.
