You may possibly be able to fix the problem if its an issue with the burner... by going to the manufacturer's website and trying to download up-to-date firmware. Might help, might not... but, worth trying. Other than that, my mind is still working, and I'm still reading (your post, responses, etc)... I'll see if I can think of anything else and post back. Useless Info #1... I use the same burner at work. :o) .::] Sir Troth [::.. _________________________________ AOL: SirTrothX Please, no email at this address! _________________________________ ::: Original Message by zat ::: Sat, 6 Dec 2003 00:52:29 -0800 | Hopefully someone can help me out with this problem, already wasted a bunch | of CDs. | OS is XP Pro, AMD AthlonXP 2100+, 256MB of ram. Nero 5.5.8.1 | | I put a blank CD in and the drive spins and spins and spins some more. I | start Nero and select the files to burn, everything seems to go along just | fine. Then when I tell it to burn this is what the message window in Nero | says: | | ISO1 (Mode 1) 75:07.46 | CD-ROM (ISO) 660MB | | 11:24:35 PM Optorite CD-RW CW4002 | ExacLink activated | 11:24:40 PM Cashing of files started | 11:24:41 PM Cashing of files completed | 11:24:41 PM Burn process started at 32x (4,800 KB/s) | 11:24:45 PM Optorite CD-RW CW4002 | No seek complete | | It gets to 3% then ejects the CD, at this point I now have a CD icon | blinking next to the mouse pointer, it follows the pointer where ever I move | it. Nero is now froze and when I close the CDRW drawer the access light | (green one) stays lit. I kill Nero through the Task Manager and the access | light still stays on and the CD icon is still with the pointer. To get rid | of this problem I have to reboot. | | I've done this with IMAPI disabled, running but set to manual and also on | automatic, no difference. The CDRW I've had for awhile but have hardly used | it until now. It worked fine but now has developed this problem. I've had | this happen with a couple different brands of CDs. | | While trying to burn I shut everything not needed off, i.e. the firewall, | antivirus and all other running programs. I leave the required | programs/services and Nero run. | | My CD Rom is set as Master and the CDRW is Slave, the only time I basically | use the CDRW is to burn, all other discs go in the CD Rom. | | Hopefully I can get this figured out, got over 12GB I'd like to burn to free | up space on the hard drive. The system partition is 20GB with 13GB free and | the stuff I want to burn is on a different partition. | | TIA | zat | | | To unsub or change your email settings: | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | To access our Archives: | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | For more info: | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
