Hey everyone i'm new with this burning thing but have a few questions....I purchased a Pacific Digital 16x dvd burner and the features on it are great. It came with Roxio Easy DVD/CD creater, but i decided to buy Nero instead. I installed everything right and opened it up to try to burn a dvd. I decprtyed my dvd with DVD Decrptyoer and shrank it wit DVDshrink, and used NeroExpress to burn it. I got everything started and it looked good, but it wouldnt burn anymore than 1 percent. The timer is still moving but it wont go any higher then 1....PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Pna352, welcome to aD,
a ScubaPete guide for Uninstalling Roxio and Nero,
"WHOAH there partner, I didn't say I wanted to get rid of Nero ~" No, you didn't. BUT if you had Nero on your PC along with Roxio then Nero almost assuredly has a corrupted file or 3. Just in case, so matters don't go "downhill," let's get everything up and running and in perfect shape. To do so, let's do a "CLEAN UNINSTALL" with Nero and then install it in perfect condition.
You say you have Roxio. Roxio is, IMO, the worst program you can have on your PC if you wish to work with DVD Video. It does it's best to trash almost every other DVD backup proggy there is except DVD Shrink. One extremely good program, Nero, is one that Roxio messes with the most. True there are a very few pple who have them both on their PC BUT by far, the vast majority of pple who have had them both on their PC's have had major headaches and have had to get rid of Roxio. As I'm sure any search through our threads will show you it's a wise decision. Even getting rid of Roxio is a problem as it weaves itself all through your system and you require a special proggy to get rid of it even after you've uninstalled it.
We're here because you've probably had trouble burning that can be traced to our archenemy Roxio CD-Creator or one of his henchmen.
The best way to rid our selves of Roxio is remove him through "Control Panel", "Add and Remove Programs".
After you've done that, I'm thinking you haven't gotten all of Roxio, actually you haven't, you need to run this -
Remove all types of Roxio tentacles and tendrils with Roxio Zapper ?
Find it here: http://www.microadvantage.net/downloads/zapper60.zip
Once you've done that, reboot your PC to "flush everything out of your PC's system :)
Now, again, you must uninstall Nero COMPLETELY.
This will help you do a "clean" uninstall.
You must use all of Nero's Clean tools in order to do the job correctly.
They can all be found here:
http://www.nero.com/us/631940828445001.htm
General Clean tool
Registry cleaner and driver cleaner
InCD Clean tool
When you reinstall Nero 6 DO NOT install InCD OR if you do, turn it off in msconfig (better to not install it) it can and does cause problems with other proggys.
Load Nero up from here:
http://www.ahead.de/us/nero6-ultraedition.php
When installing and uninstalling programs it's a good practice complete the operation with a PC reboot. It only takes a minute, help it can, hurt it won't.
Whenever you're uninstalling a program, it's a good practice to reboot your PC (even if it's not called for) to help "Flush" the program out. By the same token, when you install a program, it's a good practice to reboot your PC (even though it doesn't call for it) to help the "New" guy "Settle" it in.
Now that we've done that (I know it's a "Pain" but when it's done correctly the first time and all the steps are followed then we don't have problems AND we don't have to do it all over again.
IF YOU ALL OF THE STEPS (and didn't skip just one that "couldn't possibly" make a bit of difference) THEN, WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO - YIPPIEEE ! !
Now let's see how we do -
Pete

reboot is = to restart.
Your Windows CD could allow you to "Boot" from it or allow you to Re-Install Windows.
So the term reboot means to just shut down Windows and just Restart your PC. :)

Actually, DVD Decrypter can only decrypter the DVD and can also be used as a burning engine like Nero. Only programs like DVD Shrink or CloneDVD2, also many others, can actually "Shrink" a DVD9 to a DVD5 for example.

Before your edit you had "DVD" by itself and didn't have "Shrink" after it. When I read your post I felt you were speaking about DVD Decrypter. Now that I read your post with it's changes, I agree with what you have stated. :)
Yes, DVD Shrink does it all, decrypts and shrinks. But since it has not been updated for quite sometime, it needs help from AnyDVD or DVD Decrypter.
Pna352
Yes you can, and any updates that might be needed can be downloaded from their website as well.

{{{{{{{Try my post below first}}}}}}}
OK if you have done everything that ScubaPete has asked and still no luck try updating the firmware for your DVD writer I'm not sure which writer you exactly have but this link is for all the Writers that pacific digital supports http://www.pacificdigital.com/dl/pafiledb.php?action=category&id=6
you should be able to find your drive there and download and install the CORRECT firmware.
Also what media are you using? Brand/type
Have you tried other ways to make your back ups? The link in my signature will take you to a site that has plenty of guides and insure you are on the right path. Try using the ScubaPete guide first it is the easiest and both programs are free!! DVD Shrink / DVD Decrypter

I'm going to ask a couple of dumb questions first, just to make sure of a couple of things...
1. You do have a power supply hooked up to your laptop and also a separate one for the burner, right?
2. You said that you could not open Device Manager to view your settings. If you are running windows xp there is no reason it should shut down on you during that view so we need to work on that first to see what it shows.. OK? Try it again and tell me what happens so that you cannot view it. All it should be is just right clicking on My Computer, selecting properties, Hardware, and then devices.

Yes all of the power cables are perfect, and for the device manager, it just closes, i get to the section and select hardware, click on device manager it opens and then closes about 1 second later

Thats a first for me I have to admit. You have got to have some sort of software issue then.
Try this:
Control Panel
Performance and Maintenance
Administration Tools
Computer Management
Device Manager
Then see what it says for ATA IDE secondary channel and also your DVD/CD drives

That only stays open for a second and then closes just like the device manager
