Hey everyone Im having a bit of trouble using Nero for burning CD's. Everytime I start the burning process, it will get say about 45% done and then it will stop dead. Usually you can hear the actual drive itself whilst the CD is burning, then it will just stop and go quiet. Its really annoying because I am wasting countless CD's on it. Does anyone have any suggestions or is it my hardware?
Thanks

Please help fix this Nero Problem.

I would say you should update nero... Maybe it will help. I had the same problem but it was with this crap sony cd´s

Thanx mate i'll give that a try

I was using NERO 6, but I found that NER 5 have one advantage. I always use CD-RW discs and most of them sometimes be in bad condition and when you add this disc to CD-ROM and then my computer crash but I find tha in NERO 5 you can choise Erase Disc, put Cd-RW in drive, quickly push Erase and after ersing my CD-RW works again. When I updated my NERO 5 to NERO 6 I couldn`t do this as a result I use NERO 5 ):

Oh ok cool I still have the disc for my old Nero 5 so I will re install that. Thanx very much for your help guys

Sorry if this is irrelevant to you, but I just want to say that if you're having frequent problems with Nero (like I used to have), why don't you try out this program called CD Burner XP, which is found at www.cdburner.se

It's like Nero very much but it is much more stable, and is 100% free to download and use. It's won many awards and I recommend it highly for Windows users.

Yeah i sometines have the same problem. mine usualy happens because my burner doesnt support some of the advanced options i chose.
if your just adding variouse files then you can use windows built in burner to.

ah, i have had much the same trouble, with disks spinning down while working, in all sorts of stuff. I use windowsXP, and while installing a game, or buring a CD (Roxio, Nero), it will randomly spin down, stop reading, and the program that was using it will crash. Ive never figured out why.

hey try to update your cd-rw's firmware. Goto manufacturer's webpage and try to find firmware for your cd-rw, and as pleople said here update your version of nero, that should help.

There are so many problems you could have burning a CD that does not relate to Nero or the cd burning software that it will make your head spin.

A lot of us upgrade our OS but forget that the hardware when developed was meant for the current OS when the hardware was manufactured. So we end up with half updated systems.

Then there are the products that barely meet the legal required standard that we buy cheap and expect to perform miracles.

So what really could be the problem?

Anything form buffer under run problems with the cd-rom, poor quality cds, not enough hard drive space to write the data to for transfer, or incorrectly configured software. And the list goes on and on.

Always read warning messages and look closely at the errors, they always tell a story.
