439940	2006-03-22 16:17:00	New to the forum, but saw some helpful people and am wondering if you guys can help me too. I have Nero CD burn software, and whenever I try burning a data file or an ISO file, the software says it successfully burned the files to the blank CD-RW disc, using my Sony CD-RW CRX300E. However, whenever I pop the CD back in to check if the file's been burned, it's completely blank. I've tried using two different CDs to no avail. I've slowed the write-speed just in case as well. Could the problems be: 1) optical sensor in the CD writer? 2) malfunctioning blank CDs 3) is there a difference if i use CD-RW vs. CD-R? 4) ??? Thanks for your help	dk80 (10040)

Also, burning ISO files is a little different to copying data files so perhaps you could tell us the procedure you followed in case you have not done it correctly . I know that I have burnt a few duds doing it myself . :rolleyes:	FoxyMX (5)

Of course the others will never admit to it . :thumbs: Most CD burning programmes have a test ("dummy")mode . It does everything (including a report of successful completion) except turning on the laser . :( Have a good look at all the check boxes on the page with the "Burn" button . :cool:	Graham L (2)

It's strange as music CDs on the Sony load up fine (including those burned), but when I load up video files or ISO files, the drive reads them as empty CDs with full storage space when in actuality there isn't.	dk80 (10040)
