| 314164 | 2005-01-15 00:54:00 | Hi Folkz :-) Bought myself a new dvd writer recently and installed it no problems. today i went to copy a cd, usually i use the nero wizard, create an image and then insert a blank cd and then burn the image, and its done. Not sure if its any co incidence associated with my dvd burner (havent burnt anything on it yet), i went to copy a cd the usual way ive done many times and i got an error " unable to start disk at once, burn failed". ive never ever had this problem before, so tried again and the same thing, same error. this time i tried to copy the cd with the dvd writer, image created fine, and burn with the dvd writer, but same error trying to burn the image. okay next thing, used the dvdrw to create image and the cdrw to burn.. and vice versa, same error! " unable to start disk at once, burn failed". next thing trie to do "copy on the fly" dvdrw to cdrw and vice versa, sameeeeeeee thing, ok, so now checked that buffer under run running on both drives , thats fine, thought id change the buffer from "automatic configuration" to "manual" and 71 megs for the buffer size . tried again, same thing!. someone help please :-) normally i dont have any problems, but this one has me stumped. pc details win xp pro sp1 asus 40x cdrw asus 8x dvd-/+ r/rw, |

| 314165 | 2005-01-15 01:27:00 | What if u try and burn mp3s / other?? Besides trying to copy a cd?? Also check and see if DMA is enabled on both burners. And what IDE connection are both burners on?? Secondary?? Not on the same connection as a hdd??? And r u sure that both burners have been jumpered to a master and slave? |

| 314167 | 2005-01-15 02:26:00 | OK. Well umm, Nero and any other program .Even if they have a disk copy option, it doesnt mean it'll always work !! Because of protection. I spose it depends on what youre trying to copy. If u had CD Creator / directcd 5+ or 6/7 you could copy the cd to hdd then to cd. |

| 314169 | 2005-01-15 02:50:00 | OK what version of Nero are u using?? 5.xx or 6.xx? Maybe if it isnt 6 or later, Nero needs updating to 6 So, it knows what your burner is (if it doesnt know what it is properly now). At least you know the burners still work! You can still have probs, even if u've made the cd/vcd's/dvds yourself! |

| 314170 | 2005-01-15 03:08:00 | Tried using a method such as TAO (Track at once) or SAO (Session at once) as opposed to DAO (Disk at once)? | Edward (31) | ||
| 314171 | 2005-01-15 03:36:00 | using the very latest nero (as in the ultra very latest lol ) , i think theres a problem with the interaction between the cdrw and dvdrw, might try burning TAO this time.. see what happens :-) *gets in a praying position and offers a sacrifice to the pc gods* |
