Hello, I too had somewhat similar issue with Sony DRU-500A (firm 2.0e) and Nero 5.5.9.xx. It all started when Nero was doing funny things to my computer with Windows XP. I then uninstalled Nero and rebooted. After that, none of my CD writer and DVD authoring software would recognize not only Sony but my TDK CD-RW drive. At one point, a message popped up saying, “…ASPI manager failed to load.” So, after tinkering and plotting to kill anyone and anything that came my way, I found out that Nero installed proprietary ASPI driver then uninstalled it—making my Windows XP without the proper driver. Damn… Bottom line…I betya that it’s Nero’s issue for your entire headache. There’s an update patch for Windows XP on Roxio’s site called, “ASPI 471a2.zip”. Please use it at your discretion. This update resolved my problem, however, I reinstalled all my CD and DVD software to get it right again. Good luck.
Thanks for that.. What I eventually did was install Verita RecordNow software which was metioned many times in forums mostly positively..and it worked first time but Nero still will not work..well I know which package I will be using from now on
[bold]Some Tips on using Nero[/bold] Does Your Buffer reach 100% and then your burn stops. Read this! 1. [bold]Copy the bin file on to Drive C:/[/bold] ----------------------------------------------------- Dont try to burn some file that is buried deep in a file structure 2. [bold]Burn at write speed, not at read speed[/bold] ------------------------------------------------------ Find out what your burners write speed is (off the products web site) and use that speed to burn, You can use the rewrite speed to burn as well, and this rewrite speed I would recommend, as it will be slower and less chance for errors. To Find out your burners model Control Panel>System>Hardware tab>device manager button pick the dvd/cd Rom icon out of the list and double click it. 3. [bold]Set Nero's Ultra Buffer to 75[/bold] ------------------------------------------------------ In nero, go to: File>Preferences>Ultra Buffer tab use manual configuration and set the data buffer size to 75 4. [bold]TAO or DAO?[/bold] ------------------------------------------------------ Find out which write method to use: when you are about to write a cd and you go to the burn tab of nero, if you have been using TAO (track-at-once) then try DAO (disk-at-once)
