NEC 1300A help please!

[perfectpooch]

Hi,

I am new here can anyone please help.

I recently bought an NEC 1300a dvd driver and have fitted it as the primary driver. It burns CD-R's fine, and will read a DVD, but will not read any blank DVD that I put in. When I click on 'properties' it says 'free space 0 bytes'. I have tried Princo DVD-R (1-4x). I have tried TDK, and a super high-grade DVD disk. Before this I had a CD-RW installed as the primary driver and ahead INCD used.

The drive name is:

_NEC DVD_RW ND-1300A V1.09

Any help will be appreciated,

THANKS.

InCD and other packet-writing software in general are trouble-maker for ND-1300A. I had all kind of errors burning DVD before. Once I removed InCD, all problems were gone and my system become very stable since then.

If you still have INCD running it may help to uninstall. I have known this to cause problems with various DVD-RW drives!

Have you actually tried burning a DVD? Maybe windows is just incorrecly displaying the free space information!

Hi Thanks for the advice,

have uninstalled but still have the problem, do i need to take anything out of the windows registry? As it still has something in there for INCD.

Thanks

If you are running WinXP, try to disable the "IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service". It is under control panel | Administrative Tools | Services.
