"Successful Burn" isn't really successful
Okay, this one has me baffled.
For the past couple of months, I haven't been able to make working CDs with Nero 6, Roxio 6, etc. They seem to burn, but they don't work afterward. The scenario seems to go like this: I'll make a new CD image and drag some files into it (or I'll burn straight from a pre-existing bin/cue or iso image) and then start the burn. Everything proceeds like it used to (all of the buffer levels look right, etc.) and then it says that it's finished. I take the CD out, look at it, and I can *see* that the disc had info burned onto it. However, when I stick it back into the drive, it doesn't show any files on the disc. There are a few symptoms that indicate that the disc is still blank, and a few that indicate that it is *not*: "Blank" symptoms: - When I put the disc in the burner, Windows pops up with the "Blank CD" "What do you want Windows to do" dialog, where I can tell Windows to launch Nero, etc. - When I go to "My Computer" and double-click on the drive (which isn't showing any disc label), it gives me a "Please insert a disk into drive E:" dialog. "Non-Blank" symptoms: - When I try to burn to the disc again with Nero or something, I get a message saying that the disc isn't blank and that I need to insert a blank cd. - In Nero, I can click "Disc Info" and it shows me the disc showing one session and one track. The same bin/cue set that I'm wrestling with right now burns fine on another machine. In Nero's "Disc Info" screen for the *working* disc (burned on another machine, mind you), the info for Session 01/Track 01 reads: Track 01: 0:02.00 20:41.11 (182MB), ISO 9660/ bootable (mode 1) while the one for a *NON* working discs reads: Track 01: 0:02.00 20:41.11 (182MB), Data (mode 1) Now, this seems to happen no matter if I use Fireburner, Nero 6, Roxio 6, or Alcohol 120%. Also, the only CD-related thing I can remember doing any time around when this problem cropped up is that I installed Alcohol 120%. Any ideas? - Joe |

For that matter on the same machine. A disc first burned in Roxio will fail all the time when another session is added using Nero. It usually gives a warning to that effect too. It will burn but usually only shows the first session information when read or fails totally. Alan |

Sounds like some serious VXD bloat with all the proggy demo's you've
installed... Try a Feurio install and see what the system checker module says... We assume you've tried different media and burn speeds... Can anyone confirm that a properly mastered and open disk made with EZ cannot be continued in Nero... or just more Roxio bashing... Tim K "Alan" wrote in message ...

There is nothing obvious to newbies about using Nero which is why I suspect Roxio's layout is as it is now. Inherent familiarity from just using any Windows 95+ OS. Alan |

Alan I didn't really have any problem with Nero's layout. You click New and drag n drop the files you want. When you're ready you tell it to write the cd. Where do you get confused ? Then there's that funny thing called a manual |

OK... so you're not a Roxio basher... I'd still like some explanation,
confirmation or denial as to your Roxio/Nero claim. What of your main problem that *also* affects Nero; since you are now attracting Roxio bashers to your thread? Would seem like a drive/media problem; no? We've seen these 'burns CDRW OK but not CDR' before here and drive/media problem is usually diagnosed... Tim K "Alan" wrote in message ...

Where do you get confused ? Then there's that funny thing called a manual There were three vertical windows that you could drag to either the second or the first one. Then when you went to acutually burn the disc it made you click multiple times in a few different popup windows before it burned the disc. It was something like a wizard I guess. When in Roxio when you hit Create CD thats it. One click its burning. The persons computer I was using still is having a bit of a time with it. I don't know which version it was but I think it's less than a year. If I had the machine I would specifically tell you what the steps were and why it wasn't obvious as to what to do. The file att. is only 17 kb so forgive me for posting a binary. It shows the ease I am talking about. Alan [Image] Make compilation window horizontal with [Window, Horizontal...]. Then use Nero Express. |
