Re: burner not reading disks

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I use either NERO on NTI, so I am not recording from XP. It's those
programs that are rejecting the disks, but I have previously recorded on the
same brand of disks with the same progams. So I am really puzzled as to why
it's behaving this way now.

check drive properties and ensure the recording function is enabled


XP can't record DVD-RW discs natively. Setting that record function is
only applicable to XP's inbuilt ability to write CD-R and CD-RW discs.

To write DVD-RW discs requires the use of a third party disc burning
utility. XP can however write DVD-RAM natively (it just treats it like
any other removeable disc drive).

Apparently some apps want it to use a DVD RAM disk. How do I get it
back to
the way it's supposed to be? Thanks for help....
