I have been backing up some games on a dvd and after I burn them I insert the DVD+R into my dvd rom and it just spins and does nothing. I even tried to open the dvd rom from my computer and it shows nothing is there!! I have tried Alcohol 120 and Nero so it's not the software. Could this be a dvd burner problem. It shows it burns it fine. It just doesn't recognize it after. It's like there is a blank disc in when Nero and Alcohol said it burned successfully. HELP! This just started happening.

Hello.

Have you tried placing the disks in another drive to see whether they are recognized/readable there?

It could be the drive isn't reading them or it could be the burner not burning correctly. If they are readable in another drive, the burning is OK and the reading needs addressing. If they are unreadable in another drive, something is amiss with the burning process, either hardware, software, or operator error.

Yeah, I have tried them in several other drives and on my other computers. Same result.

OK. Try to locate the section of the Nero history/burn log for one of the burns and post it to this thread. The NeroHistory file is in one of the following paths depending on the version of Nero.

Nero 6: Program Files > Ahead > Nero > NeroHistory
Nero 7: Program Files > Nero > Nero7 > Core > NeroHistory

The Nero History file (burn log) is divided into sections, one for each of the last several attempted burns. You only need to post one of the sections that deals with one of the failed burns, probably the very last section of the file. Each section except the first begins with a Nero Burning ROM header and is followed by the Nero program serial number. Be sure to delete the program serial number and your name if present before posting back to this thread. If your using Nero 6 the sections begin as follows:

====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======
Your Name

1A......... (your program serial number)

Windows XP 5.1
IA32
WinAspi: -
ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004
