I'm gonna blow up my CD burner...

...unless someone has a good suggestion on how to fix my problem.

Alright, so I'm burning a mass ammount of CD's, then boom, my burner quits working, everytime I try and put a blank CD in, and try and burn a CD, it says "Please insert blank media."

Well the blank media IS in, and it won't work. So I try my DVD burner to burn the music CD, and wallah, it works, but only at 24x, and my CD-R is 52x.

So I thought, "Well, my CD burner probably crapped out." and bought another burner.

So I install the new burner, and it detects it, and I can put a music CD in, and it will play it, but now nero won't pick up my new burner, just the DVD burner.

So I figure I'd uninstall nero, and reinstall.

Nothing!

I've checked the slave/master setting. I think what I'll try next is disconnecting my DVD burner, and installing the new burner in it's place to see if it works. Any other suggestions?

I always loved Nero the most, what's a program that's similar, or even better?

if your using nero check up there in right corner where you change which burner you gona use ... once for me it switched auto to dvd burner which i had not installed so it was saying insert blank cd ..... i just turned that thing off for auto switch an bam changed it works fine !

Blow it up, film it, and post it on YouTube.

yeah i had the same problem before, however mine was easily solved.
when you startup "Nero Start Smart" press the button with the 2 green arrows next to the "turn off button". then select "Enable all recorder formats". Voila, should work now.

strange...
hmm try this..

go to "Start" --> "Control Panel" (Switch to classic view) --> "System"
--> "Hardware" --> "Device Manager" right click on all your cd/rw burners etc.. --> "Properties" select "Uninstall" all of the cd/dvd drives.

then restart your computer, Xp automatically plug & play's/installs all of your cd/dvd drives. then try nero again. let me know how it works!

Ok, did this, still nothing, like I said, the drive letter is coming up in my computer, and I'm able to put data/audio CD's and they will open up, but nero won't pick it up.

I tried two more burning programs, and neither of them will pick it up either, this is hopeless.

A little more info.

I have two cables, on the first cable, I have my hard drive, and my DVD burner, on the second cable, the only thing I have on it is the CD burner, think it will work if I swap the DVD/CD burner cables, or will this not make a difference?

Posted by Rinster on Dec-05-2006 23:59:

best thing to do is, put your dvd + cd burner on 1 cable. but before you do this check if 1 drive is master and the other slave. and on the other cable only connect your hard drive. then startup the computer, and do the same procedure over again in my previous reply. then it should hopefully work.

Here's another thing, take a look at this screen shot:

Does it matter that my CD burner says 0:0 and doesn't work, and my DVD burner says 1:0 and works? Or does that have nothing to do with it?

Posted by Sunsnail on Dec-06-2006 00:03:

I'd switch cables. Look around in your BIOS too for things.

no i dont think thats the problem. i think the problem is the cables. or as Sunsnail has mentioned to check the bios for any possible error/failures.

Posted by chimchim on Dec-06-2006 00:13:

i have the very same problem.... just let let the burner cool down for a little bit...then start again...once i let it sit for a few and then restart... it usually works again...

Posted by Rinster on Dec-06-2006 00:50:

i think he f*cked something in the Bios.

Posted by eXo on Dec-06-2006 01:33:

Well, I decided to ease my frustrations on a little bit of green shrubery. I have come to the conclusion that I'm just gonna blow up the entire computer, and build a brand new one with dual-sli *drool*.

I'll probably just fix it tomorrow, when I care more. haha
