NERO can not keep a Data CD Open- no multisession

[src2206]

Hello

I am not sure in which section actually my topic belong to, so I decided to post it here.

I am having a horrid time. NERO can never keep my DATA discs open (no multi session). I used NERO Burning ROM and NERO Express both, but the result is the same. I have chosen the option to keep the disc open every time I tried. I am using NERO 6 Ultra Edition. This problem started to happen suddenly. Earlier I have used the same burner to write multi session discs. I tried to change the media too, but that did not help. I use LITEON DVD Burner and I think the firmwire is up to date.

I tried to use CDBurner XP, but it is already having this bug and the developer is yet to find a solution, I asked that in its user forum and got the confirmation.

Please help me.

Thank you.

When you click to burn but before the burn actually starts Nero should bring up a dialogue box with a number of tabs. From memory one of them has the option for multisession or not etc etc.

Have a look through them all 'cos there is some useful stuff in there but be careful 'cos you can screw up compatibility with other machines!

In the burn speed setting there is a box labeled as "Add more files later" (or something like this). I have put a check mark against this box before starting the actual burn process. I think this should be enough to tell the burner to keep the disc open.

Thanks for your reply though.

Here is a little update on this issue:

I opened the disc in another PC having a BENQ COMBO CD523C (CD-DVD combo drive- CD ROM/RW but DVD ROM). In it the same disc can be seen as Open Session by both CDBurner XP and NERO (same version as mine)!!! I even wrote some data to check and the writing completed successfully. Now I am more confused!!!

Ok I found the solution,- accidentally and also after buying a new ASUS Lightscribe DVD RW drive, .

The trouble occurred because of the presence of sptd.sys file which comes with virtual drive emulation software like DAEMON tools. Removing this driver solves the problem.
