132112 2003-03-30 04:15:00 I just copied data to a blank CD-R and in the Nero dialog box it said that the burn process was successfully completed. However, neither the DVD-rom drive nor the CD-RW drive can read the CD, why not? is the question I would really like to have answered.

Thanks to anyone who may have an idea

132113 2003-03-30 04:58:00 I just read that the CD-RW & DVD might not be able to read the disk because I used a high writing-speed. The CD-R is for 40x writing and I wrote at 40x, but the DVD is only 16x read, so should I burn at 4 - 8x whatever the writing speed says on the blank cd? DanielS (3390)

most likely when reading a dvd with cds its proberly 40x. however thats hasn't got much to do with your problem. if the disk is only an 8x disk then it should be burnt at 8x. next time in nero select the verify optoin so it checks the disk after its burnt to make sure it burnt ok.

132115 2003-03-30 09:36:00 yeah but the disk said 40x and i burnt at 40x. however, somebody told me that is maybe too fast and that it should be burnt at 8x. and you're right, i didn't have the verified checked, i'll do that next time.

the brand was melody from the warehouse stationary, maybe it has something to do with that, i usually use imation and have never had problems with that brand.

132116 2003-03-30 10:18:00 8x might be going a bit to slow. try it at 32 or 24 first. could be just the disk. find whatever suits and stick to it. tweak'e (174)
132117 2003-03-30 10:36:00 Stick with Imation, Sony or Verbatim disks and you won't be disappointed! ionic (3474)
