Clues to the problem: Nero OEM - My experiences indicate that it tends to be shipped specialised to only work in a system with the single CD/DVD drive installed with which it was shipped.
Roxio and Nero Both tend to come with drivers to take specific action on detection of a disk in a CD/DVD drive in the system So both expect to have the exclusive use (and ownership) of a CD/DVD drive that has a disk in it --------- I had a problem with a system that had 2 drives in it - both shipped with - according to the documentation, and 'About' reports the same Nero OEM version but the system wouldn't work with both drives 'in' the system - and would only work properly with the version of Nero that was shipped with the installed drive. Checked, and found that some of the DLL and registry entries were different depending on the installed version Retail Nero solved the problem JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 6:10 PM Subject: Re: Hardware: DVD Burner write failure > Just a follow up for the archives.
