Nero can't recognize CD/DVD Recorders! | ||
| charmed94 posted 2009 Jun 29 22:32 | ||
I've used Nero 7 for burning files, and two days ago something happened. It couldn't recognize CD/DVD Recorders! I was surprised, nothing like this happens to me in past. So, i've decided to install the latest version of Nero 9. When i installed it, again the same problem. The only difference was that Nero 9 showed what kind of problem is it:
I posted this question into forum, and some guy told me to see if i have a program like Daemon Tools, the program which creates Virtual Drive. In the time he said that to me, i've remembered that i was mounted a drive with UltraISO, then everything of this happened. I deleted all the programs that kind, UltraISO and Daemon Tools Pro, and all the virtual drives has gone, thank god. The problem still occurs! I really don't know what to do. I've tried everything i could remember. I googled so much, and every post is 5 years old and the problem was just outdated software. So, please don't answer me like: "Download latest Nero" or "Try other software like ImgBurn", blah blah. I think something is about Virtual Drives, just don't know what. Thanks in advance! | ||

| Do a system restore before the problem happened. | ||

| Sorry, my System Restore was disabled, so i can't do it. Anyway, i think that wouldn't help. | ||

| System restore always works for me when any of my drives gets screwed up by a program,too bad you dont have it enabled,make another user account and see if you can use nero in that. | ||

It is telling you what to do....... Nero 9\Nero Toolkit\Nero Burn Rights\grant yourself burn rights | ||
| charmed94 posted 2009 Jun 30 05:13 | ||
| Yeah, i've tried BurnRights too, doesn't work for some reason... | ||

| I've found a great program! It's called AstroBurn Lite! I've tried to burn with it, and it finally worked! Omg, i'm so happy, lol. Now i'll just burn all data from my computer with this program, and format my PC. It should be back to normal. | ||

| There may be an easier fix than reformat. Have you tried removing the drive in Device Manager and have Windows reinstall it on restart? If that doesn't fix it try removing upper and lower filter values. Do Google search for "removing upper and lower filter values" if you don't know how to do it. I've only had this problem once, and removing the upper and lower filter values was an easy fix. | ||

| I had the same issue on a dual boot vista/xp box. Vista could use the burner, XP could not.
Creating this batch file and running it solved the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921476 BTW, I am running XP Home not Media Center and I do not have Sonic Solutions installed, nevertheless the above batch file (fixburn.bat) solved my problem. Good luck, Jerry M | ||

| Ditch Nero, use Imgburn | ||
| charmed94 posted 2009 Aug 06 14:22 | ||
| Imgburn didn't work in that time too. So, it's not so attractive program :P
Astro Burn was, but it dissapointed me because it didn't burn correct. It did to video files or else, but it didn't for .exe files xD | ||

| What did ImgBurn say in the log window? If it can't see your burner, it should tell you why. | ||
| charmed94 posted 2009 Aug 07 18:26 | ||
| I really don't remeber, it just didn't wanna burn it, just like every other program. The only one which worked in that time was Astro Burn, like i said. | ||
| LIGHTNING UK! posted 2009 Aug 07 22:06 | ||
| AstroBurn uses the SPTD driver (like DAEMON Tools / Alcohol etc) and it can bypass buggy higher level drivers (it's very low level). There's a common virus doing the rounds now that blocks access to all your drives, maybe you picked it up - it can't be detected by most AV tools due to its rootkit style integration into your OS. | ||
| charmed94 posted 2009 Aug 08 06:18 | ||
| Yeah, i see. Everything works great now. It went all good by itself, have no idea how. | ||

| Even Nero drivespeed can make optical drives "disappearing"...
Had that with Imgburn, ditched drivespeed, and all went well again. |
