Getting 52x Lite-ON to work with Nero

[TheCorm]

Nero doesn't seem to derect it, the version is 5.5.8.3 and I have the latest 5.5.10.?? version ready to take over and install but is there anything else it could be.

I normally have a version of Nero with the actual writer but this time I have a generic multidrive version 5.0 with upgrade to 5.5.

Does it have that much of a bearing? Is there anything else that might stop the drive from appearing in available recorders?

Cheers,

Jamie

I tried to use a copy of Nero that came with my Lite-On on my friends new burner and it didn't detect it.. maybe something to do with it.

most version of nero that are shipped with a drive ie liton,lg, samsung, they ties them to that particular brand of drive and it will only work with it.

or what you may have to do is download the latest update from www.nero.com and it adds drive updates and it should reconize it

As suggested, upgrade your Nero S/W to the latest version. Ensure that the software is not OEM of something that came bundled with another drive - its not going to work if it was.

If all fails, download the trial version of Nero 6 to see if that fixes your problem v6 rocks and once you use it, you'll be hooked and want to upgrade anyway.

In order to get Nero to work with my 52x Sony burner I had to get 5.5.10.56, nothing older would detect it..

Am hoping that it is the version issue.

I installed a generic OEM copy of v5.0 and then ran the update, the generic OEM copy was one you could buy for like £10 with whatever drive you purchased, but I just purchased the OEM copy because I knew the people there....so it should work with any.

It is the older Nero. That Lite On 52x is a fairly new drive. You need to update your Nero. The older Nero does not know what to do with a new drive that was made way after that version of Nero came out. Update to the latest version and it will detect your drive.

are you sure it's a version 5?
to get that liteon to work you'll need version 5.5 updated to 5.5.10.42 at minimum.

Actually 5.5.8.14 looks to be the earliest version of NERO 5.5x that supports a 52x CDRW drive.
