Nero & Teac CD- W512
Is there a conflict between Win ME systems, Teac CD drives and
Nero 5.5???? Judging from the various topics on Google there must be an ongoing one. I have an Win ME system, 512RAM, 1.3M processor and a Teac CD-W512EB cd writer Firmware v2.0K. To burn CDs I now use Nero 5.5.10.56, which I recently upgraded. I am now having a problem with multi-session discs. Nero writes the first set of data, albiet very slowly, but when I later try to burn further data sets I get various error messages saying "Power Calibration Error", "Illegal medium" and "Could not perform end track". Or variations and combinations of the order. DMA is checked and have tried all speeds, with and without burnproof with the same result I had a "similar" problem some years ago with some cheap CDs but have now turned a quantity of 3 different brands of CDs into coasters. Have done a defrag, cleaned the laser, tried Google et al and made some changes to Nero preferences as a result but so far without success. Have also turned off AVG and all other programs while attempting to burn. I have no other CD writing software installed. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem or a workround or should I just junk the cd writer, Nero or both?. TIA Briain Remove the insect to reply Growing old is compulsory, growing up is not. |

I am now wondering whether to bother with UDF First, your problem is not with UDF ====================== ------------------------------- Wow!

Nero & Teac CD- W512
Probably nothing wrong with the cd writer as the older versions of teac
would write almost forever. There are good and bad versions of nero. You probably upgraded to a version that doesn't work properly. Install something that doesn't conflict with nero. Install something like clone cd it doesn't have an aspi layer just to see if it will copy a cd correctly if the cd writer even works with clone cd. Use version 3.0 or earlier of clone cd.
