| 97344 | 2002-11-09 09:21:00 | Problem is if I can't have access to nero, how do I end session or use the "burn the dick" type button :( The only access I can have now is going to My Computer and pasting files into the CD writer drive. Or do I have to close Inc and copy thing through nero, then format it with InCD to clear the cd? If possible can anybody give me a few steps :D , thanks Jase Sen |

| 97345 | 2002-11-09 09:26:00 | Hi... Yeah...Used to use Incd to copy music files to CDRW (which is slow, loses MB 's (I think) during the format) - until someone from this forum suggested better to use CDR's for backing up music files in a compressed format... |

| 97346 | 2002-11-09 16:59:00 | also had problems with cdrw's & incd. incd seemed to slow the computer & take over the cd writer even when we weren't actually using nero. We uninstalled incd, computer goes good now & only use cdr's & LOVE nero. easy to use. Don't use cdrw's any more, but have alot that I made a mobile out of. When doing data cds do multisession, when doing music only burn when have enough to fill cd. I have never closed a cd, and as yet haven't had no problems on either computers, stereos - old & new or on other peoples. | Laurie (485) | ||
| 97347 | 2002-11-09 19:51:00 | It sounds like you want to use CD-RW disks for data rather than music, which is better burnt onto CD-R disks. I have the same problem whereby the data on my CD-RW disks can only be read or even recognised in the burner drive. It's a bit of a nuisance because I can't transfer files to another PC on those disks but I don't have a solution unfortunately. I don't know if those disks can be "closed" like a CD-R but I'll have to experiment sometime to find out. What I can suggest as far as InCD taking over is concerned, is to remove it from your startup folder so that it doesn't automatically run when you switch your computer on. You can always run it from the shortcut in Start>Programs, etc whenever you want to. If you do that you will be able to use Nero for burning again. Use Nero for your CD-R disks and InCD for the CD-RW disks and you'll find life a lot easier. :-) |

| 97348 | 2002-11-09 20:34:00 | Well...guess like I wasted 6 bucks on a stupid CD-RW disk :( by the way isn't there any easier way of transferring file, I mean huge files like 500MB etc by using a CD-R. Cause I don't think I could keep spending money on CD-Rs like now, that is why I brought a CD-RW. Well, thanks alot to everyone for their help, suggestions and ideas. Thanks alot :) Jase Sen |

| 97349 | 2002-11-09 21:29:00 | I haven't tried it myself but you won't mind being a guinea pig, eh? :D Format the CD-RW disk again in InCD. Reboot your computer to get rid of InCD (make sure it's not in your startup folder) and fire up Nero. Try burning your data in Nero and if it gives you a choice, tell it to "finalise" the CD when finished. Make sure something like "single session" or "final session" or similar is selected. See if that makes a difference and let us know how you get on. |

| 97351 | 2002-11-12 09:24:00 | 1) You don't need to format a CDRW before using it. Only if you use it with InCD or DirectCD (ie as a large floppy) 2) Nero has an 'erase' option under drives which can either quick erase or full erase a CDRW SiK |

| 97352 | 2002-11-12 10:39:00 | Ok, I'm a little confused. If I want to use a cdrw as a large floppy, I need to format with Incd, and then burn with Nero, and then what program do I use to update the info on the cdrw later, Nero or Incd? Or can I use only Incd for the whole process? Or Nero? Still seems to be hard to get clear instructions on the correct way to use my cdrw's. And what is the difference between a quick and a full erase and when should one or the other be used? | Danger (287) | ||
