after reinstallation of winxp, none of my writing program works poroperly. i had nero 6 and 7.both did not burn any kind of file.
i am using the same dvd+r from same spindal that i used before to burn successfully.
right now, nero crashes on almost 23% with error codes, 1135,1176 and 1066.
now the dvd media is fine. i have checked that. upgrading firmwire did not help. so please hlep me with this.
as far as i understand the problem is xp based.
then uninstall them with cleantool, then restart and install new.
its not only nero but dvd decrypter also did the same thing. I am wondering that if there is any setting of winxp that is creating a problem?
is there any other dvd burning program out there which is reliable like nero?
I will uninstall nero but then I just want to try some different programs before I reinstall nero.
burrrn or cdburnerxp maybe.
ok i used the clean tool to uninstall nero. installed roxio and used a different dvd-r.
the result of all that hassel is= still did not burn beyond 23%. now i am thinking that my drive is gone bad. if thats the case then what are the symptoms of failed drive?
Hard to tell…
Clean the drive and try with good media.
ok so i used memorex dvd+r adn now ritek. used clean uninstal tool and put a new burning program and put a new firewire upgrade. end result is the same crap always stoping at 23%.
could it be that some windows xp pro. settings are needed to be changed???
Post the log from Nero InfoTool as we know nothing about your system.
I said “good media”.
Ritek and Memorex is crap media.
well tell me then what should i use to do the burn test?
let me find the two logs and i will put them here. but wouldnt you say that its odd that that no matter what software or media i use, the burn fails on same 23%
