NERO doesnt see my dvd drive

[jjbodean1970]

i have given everyone burnrights, but nero still does not see my drive in nero burning rom. i have done the nero ping test from their site and it sees the drive there, just not while i am running the software attempting a burn. thoughts?

What version of Nero you got and how did you get it ?
That drive got a model name ???

Try ImgBurn and check if it sees the drive. If so, you might want to uninstall Nero and run the Nero Clean Tool, then reinstall. http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/Clean_Tools.html

And you might like ImgBurn for many burning tasks. I use it more than Nero at present.

EDIT: Good point that bendixG15 made. If you have an older version of Nero and a newer burner, Nero may not recognize it. I had that problem with Nero 5.5, which I liked better than 6.3 that I use now. But it wouldn't see any of my newer DVD burners. And there are also bundled versions of Nero for a particular burner that may have come free with it. They may not work on any other burners.

imgburn sees my drive fine. i can burn using roxio, i prefer nero much much more

If you have both Nero and Roxio on the same computer, that has caused problems in the past.

About the only other thing I can think of is the uninstall, clean and reinstall of Nero. If that fails, make sure you have the latest Nero version and even consider going back to an earlier version of Nero. I still use 6.6 with my newer Sony drives and have no plans to upgrade.

Use Nero InfoTool to check,if the drive isn't detected use ForceASPI drivers .

nero info tool sees the drive fine

hmmm - deleted roxio, deleted nero 7, installed nero 6.6, works fine. odd, but i will take it!

Good deal Sometimes different programs don't work and play well together. I suspect Nero 7 may work also in the absence of Roxio. Maybe old conflicts are still active. But I would be happy if it's working properly at this point and go with it.

I only use Nero Burning Rom anyway. The rest Nero tries to do is generally done much better by separate programs.

agreed, i normally use tmpgenc, tmpgenc author, then nero to burn
