Nero7 Multisession Cdr Errors

Burning Software Nero & InCD
#1

Gosh, it was hard to get rid of Nero 7 to install Nero 6 clean again. The Nero 7 CleanTool reports that it is made for a different version so it shuts down so it won’t corrupt anything.

I uninstalled normally then used jv16powertools2005 to get rid of the rest, plus the Ahead folders in assorted areas. I needed to do this for both my 98SE and XP partitions. Whew!

Anyway, whether on 98 or XP Nero 7 errors on the leadout part of continuing a multisession cdr. And that’s what I mostly use Nero for.

No errors using Nero 6 on the same hardware and OS’s.

I even copied some cd’s perfectly well with Nero 6.

Nero 7 had been working when I had been using different cd drives. I had a Liteon cd-rw as secondary master and Liteon dvd-rom as secondary slave. It liked that.

But I got a new Sony cd-rw as I needed that Liteon on another pc. This burner likes being the secondary slave. Nero 6 doesn’t mind this, but Nero 7 will not complete a burn.

I’ll give you the log from a 98SE burn, but keep in mind that in XP I got the same error. This is all on the same computer.

Registry Keys:

The file ends there. Maybe notepad ran out of room on 98SE for the rest. The stupid 98SE Notepad didn’t warn me.

This was the latest Nero 7 update failing. I usually just keep the buggy versions around knowing that it’ll be fixed pretty quick but in this case I really needed to use the burner. So I had to get back to Nero 6.

I hope stuff like this gets fixed. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this hardware configuration as everything is working fine burning with Nero 6, playing cd’s and DVD’s, etc.

#2

Hmmm, it may not be Nero.

I’ve had occasional writing errors. Sometimes reloading the cd or restarting Nero lets things write properly. Sometimes a reboot is needed.

I checked the Sony website and downloaded and ran the Sony DriveCheck.

It’s Write test failed.

It looks like it’s a bum drive as other cd-rw’s have worked on this board.

Funny, the model number on the sticker and the box is CRX230AE, but Nero InfoTool, Windows, and the Sony DriveCheck read it as a CRX230EE with a different serial number than is on the sticker.

I guess I’ll have a few things to discuss with the Sony tech when I call him in a couple of days. I need to wait about 24 hours after emailing them my DriveCheck logs before I’m supposed to call them.

Another pain in the neck is this thing has a rebate, but the rebate instructions stated to send a copy of the UPC Code. This was unusual as they usually want the original. I checked the status and find they have mailed me a rejection as I didn’t include the UPC Code! They also give me a deadline to resubmit it. Crappers, couldn’t they just have given me the proper instructions in the first place? I would have sent the original, as its just a piece of a box. Sheesh! And the stupid thing might not even be the proper drive. And it doesn’t work right!

My apologies. I guess Nero 6 is just better able to handle crappy, failing drives than Nero 7 is. Three quarters of the time it’s burning fine. But every so often there’s a failure. Nero 7 failed every time. It’s amazing what hardware gets shipped these days. I wonder if EE stands for a European version. Whatever, it’s a disfuntional version and apparently mislabled and mispackaged as well.

#3

Just to update my progress…

I uninstalled the Sony drive and installed my old Lite-on SOHR-5238S CDRW. I also uninstalled Nero 6 Ultra and installed Nero 7 Ultra again (on both OS’s, took forever to install, uninstall, install update, etc.)

My SOHR-5238S has no problem so far and I’ve continued multisession cdr’s with it. I goes through the whole process and verifies without all the start, pause, start, pause, fail stuff.

It’s on the secondary as a slave to the DVD-ROM and so far so good.

I hope that Sony tech will give me an RMA for the drive without needing to install the thing on my other computer (you know, the one with the hole in it where I yanked out the Lite-on!) Maybe if they send me one that works it’ll be good for that old system. I had figured I should put the newer drive (the Sony) into the newer system. But at least the Lite-on is really a 52x speed drive with no stupid Turbo switch.

I guess the older drives were made better. The Lite-on was made by Sony, I think.

Or, it’s probably just a lemon.

Anyway, Nero 7 working fine so far. It’s amazing I got some cd copying work done with Nero 6 on that Sony. All those work well, but I did have to toss 2 coasters into the trash while burning them. I never had that problem with the Lite-on 5238S and that’s about four years old now (I think).

#4

The Sony’s are made by Lite-On at the present time.

#5

Thanks, I guess they have a strong affiliation as the Lite-on I’m using was made by Sony (or vice-versa, eh?)

But the new ones seem to be dumbed down somewhat. Smaller Cache, need a Turbo boost to get up to speed, less quality control (witness my experience.)

I looked at Newegg. All the Lite-on’s and Sony’s seem to be the 5239 variety with the smaller cache.

I don’t see the need for DVD burning. So I don’t see the need to pay more for those. But I guess there’s a reason why the CD-RW ones are less expensive. They make them of lesser quality. I might be better off getting someones used one off ebay.
