Solve : Cannot Burn CD's & CD-ROMS? |
|
Answer» I installed Windows XP on my computer several months ago. I had problems trying to burn CD’s and CD-ROMs. My Burner was out of date so I went out a couple of days ago and bought a new up to date one (LiteOn, CD-RW). The computer recognizes it as a CD-RW and I can use it to read CD-ROMs with no problem. I used the drag and drop to put files, both word and picture, in the Drive Window and hit the "Write these files to CD" and The CD Writing Wizard starts and works like it should and then suddenly gives me a error that says "Cannot complete the CD Writing Wizard There was an error in the writing process. The disk you have attempted to write may no longer be useable." and it stops. There is nothing in the Event Viewer to show any problems. Gomezy3k....So you installed the new cd drive and it has all the updated drivers......It reads ok but doesnt burn properly , is that right ? You have Nero burning software installed ....which Nero ? Not sure which the version that came with the CD-RW but it says its the NERO OEM Suite. I went to the NERO site and downloaded the updates(NERO 6)...at least Package 1, 2, 3 & 4 again. Back when I first installed the CD-RW I downloaded all 6 and FOUND that the Photo part sucked. It was the basic version and you had to buy the full version to do anything. Anyway, I went on the Windows Message board and was told to delete NERO so I did...still didn't work so am back trying the NERO program. At least it sorta worked. I want to clean up this computer and put a bunch of stuff on CD-ROM and Music CD's...You may need to work with the settings for your CDROM in BIOS or in Device Manager. If the DMA option is on, try setting it to PIO 4 (or switch off DMA) instead. If it's off, try setting it to DMA 2 or switching it on. Also try switching Synchronoous data on or off. The NERO program should work to where you can build a data CD directory (less than 700MB) on your HD, then burn it directly to your CDR or CDRW. It will also have the ability to assemble various files from all over the HD to burn to CD. The prebuilt directory has fewer problems with buffer underrun/overrun errors. Be sure you have your mainboard ATAPI/IDE driver package installed.I've been having the same problem, till this AFTERNOON. I tried every TECHNIQUE I found online changing dma to pio only. It did not work. I uninstalling the driver. It did not work. I used roxio and Record Now. It was a pain. I wasted a bunch of cd's. What an headace. Well I downloaded http://www.cdburnerxp.se/. It helped alot. It was alot easier and it told me how much space I had left. Plus it did not time me out. I hope this helps.

If you want to change the speed it can be possible in nero 2008 ....... If then also you can solve your problem ..then use another burner like alchol.. clone.... etc..

Now I have a question Homer might ask you...How did you find this thread? |
