Nero Isn't recognizing my burner.

Nero Isn't recognizing my burner. Keeps trying to burn image on HD... Tried to auto-detect with no luck.... NTI CD Maker is doing the same. All other burning software operates correctly. Please give suggestions.

Your cd burner isn't USB by any chance?

No, it's an internal DVD/RW-CD/RW.

I am having exactly the same problem, I had the original version but wanted to install it on another machine but it is tied to the cdrw that it was bought with, I downloaded the update from the nero website and it did recognise my drive, but stated that I needed to repurchase the full version to use it?!

You will need to purchase a full version of Nero from Ahead software. Once you purchase it you can then use their serial number to unlock the software to recognize your drive.

Have you tried RECORDER | CHOOSE RECORDER ? Silly question but it wasn't mentioned that you did.

When I try that, I only have one choice (hard drive image burner)...

So what exactly is is demonstrating, if you can't use it with your burner until after you've bought it? Seems a bit daft to me.

I would suggest contacting Ahead, but their tech support is rather poor. I've been waiting about 8 weeks for a reply to my problem (This problem actually - but with usb cd-rw).
