Have you any files in the XP writer software.

That may cause a problem if you have tried using the basic writing software that comes with XP.

RE: Have you any files in the XP writer software.

there are no files to be written via xp's way of doing it.

Don't use it often, so i can't pin point it to anything.

Just drive in use with another application.... Is there anyway of checking what?

 

Also

Doing it the XP way doesnt work.

 

RE: Have you any files in the XP writer software.

No, it's not a file problem

 

May be the dodgy software for CD-RW disc yer some times get with Nero.

Usually a re-install does it.

Funny bugger Nero, for months mine wouldn't burn audio discs higher than 4x speed, then the error mysteriously disapeared....

The b@*****.....

 

Does that include CD-R's as well as RW's?

Will try anyway

 

RE:Have you another drive? DVD ect

 

Maybe you need your ASPI Layer updating.

That's confused you now ain't it,

 

Have a DVD Drive - Empty though. Only a player not writer

Make sure Nero is pointing to the drive you have the blank in and not the other one.

 

RE: Does that include CD-R's as well as RW's?

I thinks its called 'In-CD'

Separate program tha used to come bundled wi Nero.

Wor allus cocking up mi burning...

it is.

I don't wanna seem ungrateful lol.. but i'm not a complete numpty!

Ta tho

 

Dont have in-cd with mine..

 

Try Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device manager.
Click on CD/DVD drives, right click your writer and select Uninstall.
Once uninstalled, restart the machine.

See if that helps.
