cdburner won't burn

by shaker Mar 23, 2004 9:27AM PST

I just don't understand

A couple of days ago my cd burner stopped showing up when using Nero. I only had the image burn option.(yes it's a ligit copy it came with the drive) so I tried to burn and image with Alcohol 120% and it worked fine. So I reinstalled nero and same thing. Thinking "damn corrupted windows" I repartitioned, reformatted and reinstalled windows.

so now windows is reinstalled and so is nero and same thing

the drive is a lite-on dvd/cd combo drive and it is setup in the device manager and did work before.

what could be wrong is the drive shot?

help me plz

1. Have you tried uninstalling the device in device manager? If you're running winxp, uninstall then reboot the machine and xp will reinstall the device.

2. Have you updated Nero since reinstalling? If you formated the drive, you would have lost any previous updates to Nero. Go to Nero.com and check for available updates to your version of the software.
