Hi,

Recently I bought the NEC 3540 DVDRW and I'm having some issues with it. At first whenever I put a blanc CD/DVD in it I got the message 'drive not accessible'. I could burn with NERO but the drag&drop from XP wouldn't work. I ran ASPICHECK and found that my ASPI-layers from XP weren't loaded at all, only from NERO. I installed them again, same problem. Then I looked in the registry and saw my vritual drive was defined as 'recording' and my physical drive wasn't, so I changed that.

Now I can still play CD's/DVD's and can burn with NERO and I can 'drag' a file onto a CD/DVD but when I want to write them (with XP-wizard) it doesn't recognize the blanc disc. I tried several brands (MORE,SAMSUNG and SONY) without any luck. I even checked wheter it could be the NEC-writer and replaced it with an other (definetly working) CD-writer. Same problems. I've googled the web but couldn't find anything useful. Hope someone here can give me some help.

Try disabling your virtual drive software, reboot, and try to burn with Nero and the XP burning software.

Hi
The 3450 doesnt support mount rainier (drag and drop)

The most important advantage is the ease of use of this new format. It is of course already possible to 'drag & drop' files on a CD-RW disc using packet writing software but before you can do this, the disc has to be formatted (which takes a lot of time) and you need to have third party software installed to be able to write the discs. With Mt. Rainier it's possible to write and read from a brand new CD-RW disc within one minute, eliminating the formatting delays and the need for third party software.

Thanks bert. I checked with NeroTool and indeed it doesn't. Sigh .....
Well in the meantime I found Nero Express will do about just the same so I'll guess I have to stick to that. Once again, thanks.
