First things first, may I humbly request that you consider using RW media until you get the problem solved ?- You could have purchased 2 or more of them so far with the money you've wasted and you only need one -
Next, Nero gets "Flighty" at times so we suggest uninstalling it completely and then reinstalling it.
By "completely" I mean using Nero's program to clean your drivers and your registry -
I was wondering, lately, my Hard Drive that I burn from (Typically 80GB in size) has been pretty full when I have been trying to burn some DVDs of late (Currently, it is at about 71 GB full)...Is it possible that the decreased amount of free space (It's also a 5200 RPM drive, don't ask why it is...A friend bought it) is slowed things down to a grind and hence freezing Nero?
Well, I was able to burn CD-Rs (Music and Data) but still not functionality with the DVD burning...Still think it's Nero or perhaps my DVD-RW/CD-RW drive itself?...I tried burning a DVD-ISO as a data backup to help free up free space but that too froze on me...I still cannot get the DVD to burn with Nero past 3%...It just freezes, no errors or anything, just freezes at 3% and I see no lights on my burner drive to indicate burning...I now have nearly 13 GB free on my hard drive and have run defrag a few times...Not sure where to go from here, just go on with the uninstall of Nero?
I uninstalled Nero 5.5.10.56 and reinstalled with Nero Ultra 6.0 and still the same results.
My burner is operating out of my primary Hard Disk but I am saving my DVDShrink'd DVD on my secondary hard disk (16% free, defrag'd several times and 5200 RPM 80 GB Western Digital).
I am using Ritek G04 Media (4x) and have a Sony DRU 500UAX burner.
All this and still freezing during burn at around 5-10%...I had presumably successfully burned some CD-Rs (Data) previously on ScubaPete's suggestion but it turns out that they aren't readable now...My primary DVD-ROM drive and the Sony Burner both read and play DVDs and DVD-ROMs fine as well despite the burning problems...Not sure what else to do.
I had to replace my ide cable. also take out the drive you don't need. It sound like that cd burned is not needed?.?.i tried everything else but this seemed to fix it.
