IDE devices
- Please check if the Nero Driver is installed.
- If the CD-ROM drive is connected to the secondary port, then please check if the port is also active. There are BIOS versions which only activate the port if one or several harddisks are connected to the secondary port. If you have a BIOS which behaves like this, then you must connect the drive to a port which has a harddisk connected to it.
- In some cases Nero (and sometimes Windows as well) can not recognize the device if in the BIOS the PIO access mode on the drive is set to
AUTO
, in particular if a harddisk is also connected via the same cable as well. Please check if the drive is recognized if the value is set at 0. If this is case, then increase the PIO mode step by step.
- In some cases Nero (and Windows) do not recognize the drive if it is jumped as a slave and it is the only device connected to the IDE port. Please jump it as a master for test purposes.
- A drive is not always found by Nero if it is connected to the soundcard, particularly if its IDE port is defective or if the IDE port does not support the ATAPI protocol sufficiently.
- Please check that the jumpers concerning the slave and master are set correctly. As some drives do not work together if they connected to the same port, they should be connected to another port for test purposes.
