Hi all I am trying to backup some system files to DVD using Nero Express 6, however during the 1st 10 seconds of the write phase the whole system locks up and must be restarted. I am using a Pioneer DVD-RW, is this a good drive, could it be that Nero does not support this model? Regards AB.
Nero does support the model, though you should upgrade to our latest Nero 6.3.1.20 if you have not already from the Nero Website. What exactly are you selecting to backup and what process are you using? Are you using the Nero BackItUp program, or just Nero Express and the Create Data Disc option? If you select other data to backup, do you have this same issue? Regards, Craig Ahead Software USA
I have installed Nero on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) the Iomega 300M model and I want to backup the data held on this device. The data consists of backup files, this is all executed from Terminal Services on a remote computer. I am still using the Nero Express and the Create Data Disc option, would you suggest i use a different program? I have not tried to backup anything else because after the last crash, it took half a days work to get the NAS back up again. If i am only backing up word documents etc it should not be a problem should it? Thanks for your help AB
There should be no problem with just using Nero Express for a standard Data write. So the question is, where does the conflict lie. Problem is, the only way to find out is to do some tests. :-( We can try no intrusive ways first, such as posting the results from Nero InfoTool about your system, so we can see if there are any known issues based on what we find. Next, we could try a simulation write, or better yet, write an image to your Hard Drive, so the recorder is not involved. Regards, Craig Ahead Software USA

Hi AftaBurna, There are a few issues I notice from your InfoTool file. 1) You have older version of firmware for your model recorder. You have version 1.10, and the latest from Pioneer is 1.18. You should upgrade your firmware on the recorder before doing any further tests. 2) You have an old version of the Nero software. You have version 6.3.0.4, and our latest is Nero 6.3.1.20 and quite a number of bugs have been resolved and improvements made since your version. You should upgrade this before doing any further tests. 3) You do not have a System ASPI installed. The Nero software using our own Nero ASPI driver, but I would very highly recommend you install a system ASPI as other programs do not have their own ASPI driver and you will need this eventually. You can use Adaptec's ASPI driver or use a program such as ForceASPI to install your system ASPI. 4) Last, you have some Veritas software on your system or did at one time. I do not suspect this is an issue. But if you have removed this software from your system, you should remove the driver it left behind, which I have listed below. However, if you still have this software installed on your system, then leave the driver.

Cheers for all your help I will give this a try today or tomorrow and post back what happens. Cheers again AB
