Edit out your Serial Number Your version is somewhat out of date, current one is 6.6.0.16. You can get it at aD 9http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/nero.cfm) or directly from Nero @ http://www.nero.com/us/nero-up.php I would slow this down, your computer may not be able to keep up From he looks of it you are using files already in VCD format. Looks like you have tons to play with, shouldn't be a problem Not sure, but it doesn't sound good. Creaky should know
CD-ROM: <LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-5232K>Version: NK0G new firmware is NKOJ get it here http://www.liteonit.com/ODD/English/e_downloads/e_firmware_combo.asp peace
let's have that latest section of your Nero log, which is in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log, but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '1A21' or similar hopefully the other guys' suggestions will show up in that new log and we can go from there..
Hi All, I've been having a similar problem. I haven't burnt anything to cd for a few months but I've been trying to backup some files over the past couple of days without success. Nero did work fine with my dvd writer before. First I got a power calibration error / power consumption error. I updated the drivers for my dvd player/writer. Then I started getting the write-error. I've tried various combinations of the tick boxes, including different write speeds but still not working. I have not updated by nero files but it still isn't working. I haven't had any problems using these cds before - burnt onto some others previously from the same batch and have tried a number of the blank cds from this batch but no luck. Would there be the possibility that my dvd player/writer isn't working properly? It will read ok from CD and dvd though I was noticing some problems with reading dvds... it just to start it up quickly but now it has to think about it and I do have one dvd that it wont play anymore (it works ok in the dvd player connected to the tv so it isn't the dvd) Sorry for the long post. Will post my nero log below. Maybe it will make more sense to some of you?

@SorFeS2 - - those question marks aren't right. Download and install ASPI 4.71 from here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm - firmware is up to date, so that's ok - if fixing ASPI layer and removing InCD doesn't improve things, try better media - see previous comment - this is Nero's 'packet writing' software. uninstall Nero, uninstall completely via Nero's Clean Tools - ' http://www.nero.com/en/Clean_Tools.html ', reinstall Nero WITHOUT installing InCD. As i said above, if fixing ASPI layer and removing InCD doesn't improve things, try better media
Thanks Creaky. I meant to say in the previous post sorry for hijacking the thread. Will try the stuff you've said. Fingers crossed! What do you mean by 'better media'? Many thanks. V.
OK, being abit thick ... Have downloaded the aspi from the site you gave Creaky. When I click on the aspiinst.exe it says Adaptec's ASPI installer will update the ASPI layer for Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT or Windows 2000. Er... I'm running windows xp. V.
@SorFeS2 - that's ok, the ASPI download is for XP also.... as i say, if fixing the things i pointed out don't fix your problems, buy better quality cd's as we've tweaked all your settings once you've applied those suggestions, thus all that's left is that your burner doesn't like those discs (if you still have problems after tweaks applied)...
Thanks Creaky. Have tried the apsi and getting rid of InCD but no luck. Will probably have to wait til the weekend to remove and reinstall Nero. Thanks again for the help. V.
Hi all, Just a brief update since yesterday! Haven't reinstalled nero yet but have tried a number of different bradns of cd. The ones I had been trying are verbatim. I'm still having no luck with them. I have also now tried an 'imation' but that won't burn either. Finally I've tried my old liteon RW (max write speed 12x) and although the first time I tried it it said burn completed successful, there didn't seem to be anything on the cd when I looked! Nero has let me erase the stuff that was on it from ages ago - so now there is nothing on it. (was burning at 10x in this case) So, can erase but still can't burn. Oh, the error varies between 'write error' and 'power calibration error'.
Yip, I've seen that FAQ. Since I've now done the first two points on the what to do for that, it doesn't look good for my recorder! I'm working on a laptop.... *sigh* Still, I think its still under warrantry from Dell. Will try reinstalling nero just in case. If that doesn't work then I guess I contact Dell. Thanks for the help though.
no worries, that's what we're here for, to try and get you working without costing anything, if all else fails it's down to swapping components or other such drastic stuff
Thought I'd give an update, though it's not particularly helpful. I've finally decided my cd/dvd burner bit (hardware) is broken so tried ringing DELL - my laptop is not quite a year old. Couldn't get through, so I emailed them. They sent back a list of things to try like make sure you've put the cd in properly and that it has clicked in.... *grin* Anyway, emailed back that I had already tried all their possible solutions, just to get an automated email as follows: >>> We have received your request for information on your Dell system. Please note our e-mail queues are open between 8:00 am to 8:00 pm UK time. We will respond to your communication as soon as possible and will endeavour to reply within the next 48 hours. In case of a delay in response we apologise as currently we are experiencing technical difficulties due to high mail inflow. Thank you for your co-operation. >>> Seemingly something has gone wrong with DELL computers in the UK, they not as good as they were (this from a computer support guy who has bought in a few hundred Dells for the office and has been having to call the dell engineer out just about everyday!). Anyway, have not as yet had any reply. Guess I will wait till next week and then try emailing again and hopefully they will just send out a new burner. Thanks again for all the help.
