I had a few CDRW's written with Windows explorer using Pioneer DVD writer. Now I am using a CD writer and Nero 6, but I am not able to write anything more on to those CD's even though it shows that they are empty. I was able to erase them, but the Nero writes everything, but when i verify the date, it says "Data verification failed" and it shows nothing in the explorer. Please tell me what could be the problem.
Thank u.
ASPI, Advanced SCSI Programming Interface, is the source of enough problems with anything even remotely related to an optical drive. Note that Windows2000 and WindowsXP do NOT come with ASPI installed and many users, just starting to do more than basic activities with their drives are encountering problems left and right. ASPI is one of the simplest things to check for -- it just takes one reboot. For more information regarding ASPI see http://cd-rw.org/articles/archive/aspisetup.cfmCAUTIONNOTE THAT JUST BECAUSE Nero INFOTOOLS OR EVEN ASPICHECK ITSELF SAYS THAT ASPI IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY IT ISNOTINSTALLED CORRECTLY IF THE VERSION NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH UP.ALL FOUR SETS OF NUMBERS HAVE TO BE IDENTICAL. If you are having issues with ASPI and updating to the latest version doesnt help, consider ASPI 4.60 (1021) -- it's the most stable and reliable build of them all.
May I suggest...
That you check with your ASPI drivers...Make sure the numbers are all the same...(Just as Praetor said..)
I think this could solve your prob.
I suppose you did reformat those CD/RW .. did you !
You mentioned you ERASED and now you cant write to them -- when you do a full erase -- you must reformat the CD/RW so you can put data on it.
Next.. Nero has a counterpart called InCd -- it's available at their download site -- it has the formatting tool you need to format those CD/RW.
InCd is totally separate from Nero -- it makes it easy to copy/paste anything you wish from your PC to that CD/RW . Great for saving ""touchy -- dont look "" data from prying eyes !! Eeeeeeeeps..
