I wanted to do nightly backups and decided to try a DVD/RAM drive instead of a DVD/RW one. My W2K system was stable and bug free. I had Nero installed and an NEC ND-2500A DVD/RW drive. Life was good... Then I swapped my regular DVD/RW drive with a GSA-4082B from LG in order to do DVD/RAM discs and...

Hiya folks, I have an older hp 8200i burner and recently I have been having problem being able to read any cds. Be they blank cd-r or rw's or record ones, even with audio cds. When inserted the burner just keeps on trying to read the cd and the reading light just continues to flash. The weird part...

It would help if they were freeware as well. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can give me Much appreciated Bob

I want to back up the most important stuff on my PC's hard-drive to several CD-R's. So I find this apparently convenient program simply called "Backup" that must have come with the Windows 98 that I have on my PC. However, whenever I try to specify the destination as being my 52X CD-R/RW drive, I...

Am writing from India. I have an HP300i (NEC ND-1100A) DVD+R/RW writer on my HP Pavilion t250i desktop. Just 14 months old. Have burned 3 DVDs and about 20 CD-RWs with it. System began freezing at the HP invent blue start-up screen and wouldn't go further, no response to F1/F8. HP Service says that...

Hi: I just purchased a laptop with a CD burner on it and XP Home installed. When I started to try and use the CR Writer, and got an error that it could not format a write once CD (CD-R) . It DOES format a CR RW however (but takes loads of time to do it). The installed software appears to be Sonic...

Does finalizing a cd-rw to make cd audio or cd data make it not possible to erase it afterwards? Do all cd-rw made into cd audio must be finalized otherwise it won't work on cd-rw audio cd player, right? Thanks.

Well so far I have found I get problems which ever burning software I use, I tried a burn on a new disk (twice) with binArtiasn and it bombed out with errors, usually "power calibration error" or other stuff, so it is burning software independant. I did try some burns (with binArtisan) on some of...

Hi, When I upgraded to XP, I noticed that I had to get a new version of Easy CD creator, but I have the lite version that doesn't make covers. I would like to know if the plain one they call just Version 7 for CD and DVD's will make good covers, or if I have to buy the Platinum version for that. ...

I don't know the writer so cannot be specific, but Nero has a simulation mode and it is worth using that while troubleshooting, as this does not physically burn the disc. Writers are only as good as the quality and matching of the media, so choose (at least initially) discs recommended by the...

As subject line

I've gone thru this list of newsgroups twice now and can't find one for DVD's. There are a lot of people now using DVD burners and a newsgroup would be great.
