packet writing software hangs hard drive

[beaulanger]

Nero 6 with InCD, Roxio 6 with Drag-to-disc. Both latest.
The packet writing software will not work with either. I
haven't had this problem solved in the months I have had
this CD burner. It has driven me crazy. Only one packet writing software installed on system at a time.

Can use various software including Windows XP to burn a CD-R but can not packet write to a CD-RW.

When I try to drag and drop files to a blank 4x-12x
CD-RW I get message, "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect
function." Or my computer hangs with hard drive light on and I have to try and eject the CD-RW.
Also tried to format for packet writing, "Format
operation on drive D:\ failed. There was a communication
error while sending a command to the drive."
CD burner (Cendeyn 48x24x48) is on Secondary Master IDE by itself, no other drives.

Will not reed a previously burned CD-RW made with older version Adaptec Direct CD on another PC.

Latest BIOS upgrade on new ASUS P4P800 motherboard.
Seeing as neither InCD or Drag-to-Disc both will not
work it must not a software issue.

Stupid question. Do you have InCD and Drag-to-Disc installed at the same time?

[beaulanger]

Not stupid question but no, I don't have them both installed. I deleted Nero with a removal file from them and then cleaned up the registry the best I could, searching for InCD, Nero, Ahead. I just bought and installed the latest Roxio software.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

What is the actual model of your burner? What firmware does it have? You can find this information with Nero InfoTool, which comes with Nero.

Also, what brand are your CD-RW discs?

[beaulanger]

Cendyne Lightning IV CD-RW 48x12x48 Model CDICD000118
TDK High Speed data CD-RW 700mb 4x-12x
Imation 650MB
Verbatim 650mb
Previously successfully burned files (other computer) with Adaptec Direct CD on Imation and Verbatim CD-RWs. Can't read these with Cendyne on currect computer.
