Nero & DVDRW
Maybe the wrong newsgroup but maybe one of you could be so kind as to help
me. I have up until now had a CDRW and have used Nero 6. Now I have removed the CDRW drive and replaced it with a DVDRW drive Nero doesn't recognise the drive for writing. Instead I get a virtual DVDRW device in its place. (The DVDRW drive software shipped with product works fine, but I prefer Nero). Do I need to reinstall Nero because my drive has changed, or do I need to upgrade / buy something else or perform some hardware configuration to allow me to burn a straightforward DVD data only disc using Nero? Many thanks for your help. |

You have to install Nero AFTER you install the DVDRW unit so Nero will find
it. Also, Nero usually will NOT run right if you also have another CD/DVD burning program installed on your computer. They conflict. Uninstall the other program. -- DaveW wrote in message ...

My tower/P4/XP box has Nero and a CD/RW drive. Somewhere there is a
statement that my instance of Nero is tied to my CD/RW drive. I haven't had a need to test this. If true you are out of luck. I hope some of the other ideas work for you. Best of luck.

Many thanks for your help. The version of Nero that came with the CDRW is an "OEM" version that does not support DVD burners. You'll have to upgrade to the full version. Been there, done that. |

Yes, hence the ever-too familiar "this software will only work with the CD burner it came bundled with" message |
