Nero won't recognize my burner

[M82A1A]

I've got Nero 5.5.6.4 and it won't recognize my cd burner, which is HP CD Writer 8200e. I have checked their compatibility with the HP burner and that is OK. I have looked on Nero's website, but still can't find any info on getting it to recognize my burner. Any help would be appreciated. I hope Iposted to teh right forum. Thanks

Is it full version of Nero or is it one that was bundled with different drive ?

[M82A1A]

Full, unbundled version.

[donpedro]

Can you see it in Device Manager ?

[M82A1A]

Shows up in divice manager and works fine with XP.

If that drive is less then 6 months old you need a newer version of Nero, when I got my HP DVD200i I had to go to NERO 5.5.917 before it would see my DVD Drive.

[M82A1A]

Nope. The Drive is about 2 years old.

I am having this exact problem right now. It wasn't a problem before i upgraded to winXP. Have you come upon a solution yet?

[M82A1A]

No solution yet. Does yours want to select an image recorder?

[MOVIEGEEK]

Try ForceASPI located in "Tools".You might try a demo version of RecordNow:http://www.easy.co.jp/jrn45/sonyos/

Yes, the only option I get is the image recorder.
As far as forceaspi, I tried what someone else suggested and it made no difference.

This might be stupid question, how do you check if it can see Burner ?

in menu "Recorder" / "Choose Recorder" ?

And what about to update to new version ? There are some issues, but they should be DVD related if I am correct.

go to the Nero Home site and there may be an update to your version of which will allow your burner to be seen www.nero.com

AH HA! I found a fix!
Go to http://www.peregrine.com.my/tech.cfm near the bottom and get
wnaspi32.dll Nero Ver.2.0.1.16 ASPI Driver - for Windows NT/2000
put it in the Nero folder and replace the wnaspi32.dll that is already there.
I just did it and it worked!

Upgrade will do the same New Nero have this in it. But good that it worked for you. What about you M82A1A ?

[serui]

I tried the newest version, but I went back to using 5.5.9.17 since that's what i have on a cd and I know it works.

[M82A1A]

Well, I downloaded that file, but it still won;t recognize it. ANy other ideas?
