OK here is the situation, i want to copy 'on the fly' using nero. nero will not allow it! grrrr pffftt sigh. my E drive is my pioneer 105, my D drive is my dvd rom (nero says there is nothing on the medium, and there clearly is something on the medium)so this drive would not work.i then took out D drive dvd rom and fitted my SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD, and the same crap happens, these two dvd drives will not read, does anyone know what the heck is going on with these drives? do i need to flash them or something? i even changed the IDE cables around, still no lucki just wanna copy on the fly! im not asking my drive to make me my dinner, just copy a bloomin disc!

Hmm did you set the jumper on the drive to master or slave and then use the correct connector of the IDE cable and plug that cable into the correct IDE connector on the motherboard? I guess if the drive shows up in windows "mu computer" and windows exployer then it is installed correctly.

yup, i set it all up correctly, basically my dvd rom drives will not recognise dvdr's, are not dvd rom drives supposed to read dvd-r's?its just taking forever having to create an image first b4 burning.

Weird can you put a DVDR disc with files into the DVD drive and then using windows exployer see the files?
For on the fly copies I use RecordNow Max and tell it to do a direct copy and that always works for me. I put the source disc into a DVD drive and the DVD-R to burn into my Pioneer 105 DVD burner. -
What operating system are you running. Please let me know and I will tell you how to troubleshoot your drive problem not reading DVD-Rs.

Not all DVD-Roms will read DVD-R's, just the same as not all DVD players will read DVD-R's. I have come across a couple of DVD-Roms that would not read DVD-R's. How old are these DVD-Roms you are using ?

His Samsung DVD R/CDRW is the same one I have and has been out for over a year. Very nice unit that reads all DVD R/RWs + and -. If He is running Nero, specifically express, click on the Nero Info tool item in the start/programs/nero menu and verify that nero is reading the drive and that all compatibility boxes are checked, that is of course if the drive is also showing up in the device manager. I don't use Nero for on the fly copies of DVDs that have been back-up. I use Neo DVD Plus which hasn't delivered a bad disk to date.

This probably shouldn't matter, but are you using a registered full version of Nero or one that came with a drive?
Recently I had a problem Nero would not work for a copy process on one of my systems. Drove me buggy a bit, then I found that system I had the OEM version that came with the drive installed, I was wanting to burn to a different drive and it would not let me. Would only work for the drive it came with. Kinda crappy really since I had several drives installed. I swapped the master disk drive and burning drives (both were cd burners) in nero then it let me make the copy to the slower burner.
Course it should read any drive though I would think.
