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.

Uninstall Nero and any other burning software you might have. They don't
agree at all with Nero. Then reinstall Nero and it should recognize
the DVDrw.

One additional consideration is that if the DVD is pretty new and the
version of Nero 6 is older you may want to go to their website and upgrade
the version.

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.

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
