slight problem, using ahed nero if i try and write a cd or dvd (brand new and blank) it says insert a blank disc

if i try and do it using windows it dosnt cee the blank disk and says insert disc


wtf is going on? any ideas?

ok so whats hapening with nero?

Humm yes sorry I was too hasty. I've seen several people report similar pronlems in the newsgroups but no common cause. Sometimes trying alternative media works but not always.

Google the make and model + "insert a blank disc" and see what turns up.

usually its the polarity, although some things wont record onto rw discs, usually backup type things(like sony vaio recovery discs) since you only do it once so they wont let you risk wiping it in future!


i must admit its been a long time since i burnt anything onto cd, i never find the need to do that anymore with networking, flash drives and HD mp3 players. i could probably lose my cd burner quite happily.  I also hardly ever used nero, most of the stuff i burned using windows itself, wasn't noticably slower in any case.
