Its surely and definetly a software problem (since you can burn CDs), |
| 29 |
and has probably nothing to do with Nero. Make sure the CDs are blank |
| 30 |
and if they're RW, that they are completely erased, and after checking |
| 31 |
that DISABLE win autorun for CDs (I don't remeber exactly how to do |
| 32 |
that since its been 3 months las time I checked win), after checking |
| 33 |
the above, change media (some CDs just don't work), and last, drop |
| 34 |
Nero and try XPBurnerPro, its free, simple and works very well. Also, |
| 35 |
disable DirectCD if its installed, or any and all programs that MAY |
| 36 |
access the drive. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I know this is not related directly with Gentoo, but c'mon, if one |
| 39 |
can't burn the install CDs, we loose another (maybe) valuable |
| 40 |
addition. |
