hi, just got a new computer and when i go to do an exact copy i can only select 4x and 8x, why is this? Ive tried loads of different programs and media and still no 2x speed to select. Thanks.
sounds like the burner's firmware only supports those 2 speeds for the disks you're using. if you got Nero 6 - let's have LAST section of your Nero log which lives in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '1A21' or similar. You can differentiate sections via this section divider "====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======" if you got Nero 7 - let's have LAST section of your Nero log which lives in C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '5C80' or similar. You can differentiate sections via this section divider "====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======"
In addition to what creaky had mentioned, did you have the blank media inside your burner ready before you start Nero or did you put the blank in after?
I put the blank in before i started nero. I have nero 7 ultra, this is the last section on the history log. thanks. ====== *** Nero Burning ROM, History File *** ====== Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 12:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.1.4 Internal Version: 7, 0, 1, 4 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B>Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?
