I went through the discussion of 2 drives with Nero OEM when I
first installed the DVD burner. I didn't get a good answer from
Nero, but the experimental result was both drives worked with
the newer bundled Nero. Both drives had included a version of
Nero when purchased. The new DVD drive is now working with the
Nero furnished with the drive it replaced, but was shipped with
a later version of Nero bundled.
The write failure problem is another puzzle. The Nero and Roxio
had peacefully shared the same drives for months and then the
burning errors. Someday I'll swap the drives again and see if
I really had a hardware issue. The error report was similar to
what I had received from the "bad" drive. I wish I had copied
the log before I ran the Nero cleaner.
> 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
