Dvd Shrink/ Nero illegal disc error

I checked out the aspi in nero tools and it shows that the system aspi is not installed but the nero aspi is installed and working properly.

I still have yet to get the discs back from Best Buy. I hope they are 8x. Other discs that I've tried that are 8x and 4x work fine. I just don't want to have to search and search for them if I don't have to. Everywhere I have been looking has all switched to 16x.

As for switching it to the primary channel, when i first installed it I tried to but my whole computer started messing up. I'm not the greatest at computers so some things go over my head. Do I need to take the combo drive out of the top "hole" and put the burner there? I tried just switching the cables around but the combo drive cable thing wouldn't fit in it right.

I recently got the computer I'm using now. I don't think there is much difference between the two. Should I take the burner at of the 1st one and put it in the second?
1: HP Intel Celeron CPU 2.0 GHz 1.99 GHz, 256MB of ram
2: Compaq Intel Celeron CPU 2.60 GHz 2.60 GHz, 248MB of ram

I just don't understand why a 16x burner won't read 16x discs. I don't want to burn them that fast, I just want to be able to use them.


Thanks Everyone for helping
I don't know what I'd do without afterdawn

@ alishia28 & Nero63

See what you mean.

Have you tried contacting LG? Maybe a compatable files exists under LG another productcode.

 

I don't have a second burner, I was just wondering if it would work better in one pc over the other. If I were to buy another burner, is there one you all would suggest that I could buy at a store and not online, that would read 16x +&-R. Am I making any sense???

Thanks

It is not a mis type. GSA4082B is the OEM drive made by LG which has a firmware update. The GSA4082N is the Acer Specific version of the drive which has no firmware update and it is not possible to use the 4082B to flash the 4082N.

 

I would suggest a BenQ DW1650 from newegg.com. I know you wanted B&M store but you'll pay twice and maybe three times as much. Never seen BenQs in stores stateside. Best burner for the money around $35.

 

I'm not gonna toot my horn, but,(blowing very hard), at best buy I picked up a cyberdyne/cyberhome burner for $35, can get firmware updates direct from cyber home that "The Firmware Page" is still on 120, and I'm on 170, never had a problem, some 4+ cases of 50 dvd's burned, is about 3 yrs. old, [bold]model DX162D-A[/bold], does 16x dvd +/- r/rw, either 4 or 8x, (can't remember) dvd +r DL, and up to 40x on all cd's. Best off-brand thing I ever paid money for.
Oh,,has book typing also. And one last toot, comes with 11 international awards!

 

looks like tooting might have been a bad choice of words, cyberhome's got some problems : http://www.twice.com/article/CA6344162.html

@ mdweaver

the guys at the CD forum might be a litle more adept in giving you the information that you need, not to say we can't help you, but may take some trial and error, still wanting to know what kind of "bootable" cd you mean,¿system start-up? if so don't use nero.use windows, or the OS that you have, guaranteed to get the right files on there.

@alisha

not that it would make a great difference, but when doing firmware updates, it is reccommended to have the drive being flashed on the master position, but if this had previosly caused you grief, don't worry. As far as switching to another computer, compaq IS HP, diff. in formulation, hardware, etc., but HP bought compaq, is the same thing. I Am very inclined to agree with binkie7, your drive is a 16x for +r, use those and in the "booktype" choose -r, that way you can use the, probably, cheaper media and still play in virtually any player, because the rarer things become the more they may cost you.

And, if you want to investigate the possibility of a new burner, yes, go to best buy and compair!
