Problem with Nero InCD reading r/w disks

areid · 05-29-2006, 09:07 AM

Up until yesterday I could copy to CDRW and DVDRW disks fine using Nero InCD, but this morning I find that InCD regards all disks as read-only, even if they are read-write! I've even reformatted a disk, but it still regards it as readonly. When I put a read-write disk in the cd-tray and close it, the disk is briefly recognised as read-write (as indicated by the ticked-icon in the system icon tray), but a couple of seconds later the icon changes to show a readonly disk. I have updated InCD from version 4.2.2.3 to 4.2.23.2 but this has made no difference. As far as I know I have not installed any new software onto the pc that could change InCD settings.

Backing-up data to rewritable CD and DVD disks is a very important part of my business, so any help would be appreciated.

BTW, I am using XP Pro, SP2.

Many thanks,
Alan Harris-Reid

Hi Dai, thanks for the reply.

That did it! Works like a dream now. How did you come across such a trick?

It is a very common problem with cd burning software. Uninstall/reinstall fixes around 75% of these problems.
