Nero InCd won't burn to formatted disc

Hi,

When I try to drag or copy files to a fully or quick formatted disc I get
the message:

"Error writing the disc in E:\. Please confirm that the disc is compatible
with the drive and is not scratched or damaged".

I've tried it with three different brands of 1x to 4x speed CD-RW discs,
and have never had this problem with this Sony rewritable drive (i've tested
on another system with another crx100e installed, with same results). I'm
still able to burn discs, just not on formatted ones. Another thing that
happens is when I click on the drive letter in My Computer the system
freezes for a few minutes while the hour glass is displayed.

Prior to switching to Nero, I used Roxio's Easy CD 5.3 and had no problems
with recording to formatted, but had issues with other features.

Using Nero 6 Ultra Ed. version 6.3.0.3
WinXP Pro SP1
Sony CRX100E

Other system:
Win98 SE
Sony CRX100E

Thanks in advance

Try a full erase on such a disc, then format again. If it takes a long
time and the resulting space is not as great as it should be, you have a
disc which no longer works well in that drive. It is likely to be
wearing out (erasables can take only a finite number of cycles - and
most of us have found that to be far less than the touted 1000).

Why are you commenting on Nero/InCD, Mikey?

I have not used Nero
I don't know Nero at all
I have not used InCD, so have no opinion.

I do not comment on what I don't know.

What a Friggin' ****!

Also, remember this weasel drivel of yours?

[...not use...not know...not write...]

Don't you remember that the above weasel drivel was your slimy excuse
for not acknowledging the Ezcd 5 Mode 1 bug?

Was Adrian Miller wrong about you, Mikey?

Didn't Adrian Miller have reliable information then, Mikey?

Uninstall InCD.

Run ROXIZAP:
http://softwareupdates.roxio.com/gm/...ls/roxizap.exe

Disable winxp built-in burn function.
Disable WMP9 burn plugin.
Reinstall InCD.

Check out KCK's InCD troubleshoot guide:
