CD-ROM Drive Incompatibility with Recordable CDs
Sometimes, it appears that you wrote a CD without trouble and can read it on
your CD recorder. However, when you put it in a standard CD-ROM drive, the
CD is ejected, or you get error messages such as “
N
o CD-ROM”
or
“Not ready
reading”
, or you have random problems accessing some files or directories.
You may find that the problems vanish completely when reading the CD on a
different CD-ROM drive.
This maybe due to compatibility problems with some CD-ROM drives,
especially older ones. Some CD-ROM drives' lasers are not calibrated to read
recordable CDs, whose surface is different from that of factory-pressed CDs.
If your CD-ROM drive reads mass-produced (silver) CDs but not recordable
CDs, check with the CD-ROM drive manufacturer to determine whether this is
the problem. In some cases, an upgrade is available which will resolve the
problem.
The combination of CD brand and CD recorder can make a difference. Use
only good quality CD-R or CD-RW media.
Which Nero Releases supports Windows 2000?
The first Nero release, which supports Windows 2000, is Nero 4.0.8.3. To find
out what version of Nero you have, click on “Help” from the main Nero
Burning Rom window and select “About Nero”. You can update your version of
Nero by going to www.nero.com
Does Nero cause a problem if I update from Windows NT to Windows 2000?
Yes, because the Nero driver for Windows NT does not work under Windows
2000.
Please uninstall Nero before you upgrade to Windows 2000.
