Any Suggestions? - NERO burning problems (Arrggh!)
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 8:51 pm
Hi,
I'm sure this is a common problem with Nero 6 but I'm a relatively new user of Nero 6.
Recently I upgraded my CDRW to a LG GSA 4163 DVD-RAM (Firmware A102)
The rest of my specs are as follows:
Athlon 700mhz
640Mb RAM (CAS 2)
Pioneer DVD 115F (as slave on the same IDE as the LG)
Samsung SP0802N HDD
Windows 98 SE
Nero Suite 3 Patched to latest version 6.6.0.8
Right there has been several problem which has driven me insane. I had Nero 5 on the Teac CDRW and it was relatively troublefree.
Firstly, I haven't been able to record any audio CDs (only once out of 50 odd times with Nero 6) I've been using a CD-RW disk to test my burns and it always seems to burn successfully EXCEPT that when I check it the CD is blank (i.e. no files appear) HOWEVER, if I check the amount of space left on the CD it shows the CD has some files using some space. I thought it was the DVD writer but having used Cyberlink Power2Go 2 Audio CDs have been burning perfectly all the time. I have tried numerous disks such as TDK & Memorex.
Secondly, I have not been able to us the 'copy' feature as everytime I do a 'Command Sequence Error' occurs. This error seems to always appear when copying anything Disc-At-Once (DAO). Again using Power2Go there are no problems.
Thirdly, I've been trying to copy a Video CD file (DAT file) to try and burn a VCD but again nothing appears on disk after burn but something has taken up disk space.
I have changed the IDE cable as the one I had was an older 40 pin. No difference here.
DMA has been enabled on all devices connected to IDE (Hard disk and Optical Drives)
I have reinstalled Nero 6 about 5 times now, every time using the clean utilities. (As I had Nero 5 previously) I really don't want to reinstall Windows as you know it's a real pan!)
I would be really grateful if anyone has suggestions.
And before anyone mentions upgrading my PC, my specs are more than capable!! I'm not burning DVDs (Yet!) but will eventually transfer DV clips.
I'm thinking maybe Nero 6 is not Win 98 compatible? Although backing up Data files and MP3 file, etc is not problems on CD and DVDs and DVD-RAM.
Many thanks!
