Hey,
  The first issue - capacity - is a simple fix. Physically remove the
disk, flip it over, re-insert.
  The other issue is that DVD-RAM disks are recognised as hard disks, rather
than trying
Nero, you should be able to navigate to the mount (usually /media/disk or
similar) and
read/write directly same as a USB thumb-drive.

cheers,
Owen.
