    1. I purchased and downloaded Nero 7. The web page says InCD 5 is included. It isn't!!!! A letter from tech support says it is not included in the "standard" download (whatever that is) and proceeds to tell me how to get it from the Smart Start menu:

    “The standard installation of Nero 7 does not automatically install InCD.
    Follow the step below to install InCD:
    In Nero StartSmart select
    >Nero Tool Kit
    >Nero ProductSetup
    >Modify your Nero Products
    Go through the "Nero Installation Wizard", the application InCD can now be installed by a right-click on the InCD option.”

    But these instructions take you to a place where InCD isn't mentioned. There is no place on their web site to download it.

    2. When I downloaded the latest version of Nero 7 (Nero-7.0.1.4b_eng.exe) it wouldn't install. A message said that it was already running and must be shut down. Nothing was running! I shut down everything except Explorer and Systray, as well as stopping the virus scan and firewall. I finally used the clean tool prior to installation and it installed ok (Maybe?!).

    3. The backup tool would not make a boot floppy in the A: drive. It returned the message "Copy image process has failed".

    4. I downloaded the latest version--Nero-7.0.1.4b_eng_no_yt.exe--and nothing has changed.

    Can anyone offer any help?

    After updating to the latest version of Nero 7.0.1.4 on Win XP Pro, an InCD icon magically appeared in my task bar. Doing the same on a Win2K box, InCD is missing.

    I'd say Nero needs to work out this problem, because others are having the same issue too.

    I don't know if you know this but...packet writing sucks. So why bother w/ INCD?

    I'm really not interested in packet writing, as such. However, I've been trying to decide between Acronis and Nero 7 as my backup software. I've used Nero 6 for a while, but it doesn't offer the system recovery options that version 7 is supposed to. Acronis requires the installation of packet writing software--either Roxio or Nero, I guess-- to function. Nero 7 would probably get my vote if it worked, but so far it is so full of bugs that I'm not willing to risk my system recovery on it.

    One thing I don't like about InCD is that it runs in the background and thrashes the hard drive all the time. Most of the time I shut it off in system configuration.
