Very Basic Nero Buring Rom Question (I think)

[Mattlock2]

I didnt think I was a total idiot but it appears so now. Here's my problem. I just installed Nero and I have been trying to make a backup of a software CD.

During the initial read phase it says "CD Copyrighted" then a box pops up that says "Medium is not empt. please insert an empty medium"

Well the CD is empty, its a fresh blank CD.

Any help. Until I learn Nero, it so far is a pain (and I've been reading the manual) I been spoiled with Easy CD creator I guess but I am sucking at this Nero for now.

thanks in advance
Mattlock

Have you tried entering another blank CDR?

 

[Mattlock2]

Yeah...I tried 5 from the same stack (PNY technologies). You have any idea why it says the CD is copyrighted? It even said the same thing on a copy of another Game CD.

???

thanks,

Mattlock

Have you downlodaed and installed the latest updates for Nero?

Might help.

 

[Mattlock2]

Doing that as I type this message. Standby...thanks

Nero always notifies you if the disc is copyrighted. It doesn't mean anything, it is just for information.

 

[zzzz]

go to the choose recorder button and see if the right recorder is chosen.

it also gives that error if you are trying to copy more than the allotted amount to the cdr (say you're copying a 700mb cdr to a 650mb cdr) then it would give this error.

thanks everyone. I 'll keep working on it.

Unfortunately I am still have the problem, none of the suggestions work. I emailed Nero support guess I'll wait o them.

thanks everyone

The CD I am trying to backup is a Hasboro Kid's software that I paid $5 for. I still cannot comprehend why Nero of all products cannot do this. My EasyCD Creator did it all day long...and I know this is a better product atleast I hope so.

My writer is a new Verbatim (Lite-on) so I wouldnt think that is the problem. The software came with the drive

This problem simply boggles my mind.

Update

I reformatted my HD and reloaded everything over. Same problem.

the CD player will read software and music CDs fine. I am at a total loss.

When trying to burn a CD, one screen says the medium is blank and the other says the empty is not empty.

Still waiting to hear back from Nero support.

I really wonder if this is a Nero problem or a burner problem. I can always exchange for another I guess

Are you saying when you are trying to burn a CD you get the message that your blank CD-R disk is in fact not empty?
I had this problem with my Lite-On, which I fixed using a jumper trick found on another forum.
BTW Nero is by far the best CD burner program.

 

[Mattlock2]

TNT,

That is exactly my problem. Please tell me what is the "jumper trick"?

thanks,
Mattlock

 

[Mattlock2]

Bump for help...TNT...what is the jumper trick you referred to?
