Repeat the automatic CD-ROM drive recognition

If you are of the opinion that your CD-ROM drive has got better capabilities than Nero says, e.g. DAE, then you can repeat the automatic CD-ROM drive recognition.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Determine the name of the CD-ROM drive. If you do not know how to do this, please read: Determine the name of the CD-ROM drive / CD burner
  2. Start the Explorer and change into the directory in which Nero has been installed.
  3. Open the file CDROM.CFG with a text editor, e.g. with UltraEdit or Wordpad.
  4. Look for the name of you drive in this file and remove the entry
  5. Save the file. Please note: This file is a text format. The format instructions as they may be stored by Word for example may not be stored as well!
  6. Now start the CD-ROM drive recognition: (CD-Recorder->Autodetect CD-ROM...). To do this you need the Nero CD or you can download the compressed image of the testCD from our WebSite (ftp://216.65.4.82/testcd.exe).
