Hi I just installed Windows XP Pro (I know,what I was thinking!) Anyways now I can't get My Nero to burn Cds at all. I face 2 problems When I put my samsung 48x CD-R ,all it says is 'Please insert an empty medium' It doesnt matter how many different samsung cds I put it says the same Secondly I tried burning a Samsung CD-RW 80, I didndt get an empty recorder message but both times it stopped burning after 4 minutes. I upgradged my nero to 5.5.10.56 but that didnt solve the prob too. Does that mean that there is a porblem with my CD Burner and not the ahead software? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Tanya
Hi, For your symptoms I'd suggest installing an ASPI layer. ASPI is a driver layer that sits between your burner and software. Here's a link to the download and instructions: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=101614 Let us know if this helps

Hi, I'd recommend going to the ForceASPI folder and try the following: Run DUMPASPI to back up your current layer. Run KILLASPI to wipe completely wipe the layer you have in order to give you a clean slate. Now follow the installation steps you did before
Hi, It got installed correctly(many tanks for that) but I still get the same prob! Do you think I should go and buy a diff brand of CD-R cos the one Im using have been lying around since ages. Thanks Again
