... of the CD burner
- Please initially check if in CD recorder->CD recorder selection of the CD Writer has been selected. If the CD Writer is not selectable, then it is possible that your Nero version does not recognize your CD Writer . The function CD-Recorder->Autodetect CD-ROM... is only meant for CD-ROM drives.
- Please upgrade to the most up-to-date version of Nero and check if your CD Writer is included in the list of CD burners which are currently supported. If your CD Writer is not in this list, then your CD Writer is either not supported yet or it will probalby not be supported at all any more. On this, see
- If you are using a Yamaha 4416S and you have connected the burner to the Narrow Bus of an Ultra2 or Wide capable SCSI hostadapter.
Please firmware of the burner to be updated to firmware 1.0g or newer.
- If you are using a Philips CDD3610 / HP 7100, then you should update to the newest firmware (at least 2.02).
- If you have a burner connected to a parallel port (printer port) and the device is not recognized, then it is usually caused by one of the following:
- The parallel port has not has an IRQ allocated or the IRQ has been allocated more than once
- The mainboard is using a non-standardized transfer protocol. As a general rule EPP should be used (can be set in the BIOS of the computer).
- The device should be connected directly to the parallel port and not via a printer.
- Please check if the existence of a connected printer prevents recognition.
- If the CD Writer still can not be found then please look under no. 2 in problems in recognizing the CD-ROM drive as the non recognition of CD-ROM drives or CD burners are no different from this point on.
