Can't Burn CDs or DVDs After Upgrading To Nero 6

[Road Rage]

I installed DVD burner (NEC ND-2500A) to go with my Lite-On (LTR-32123S) CD Burner. (They are on seperate IDE Channels, both as master.) After upgrading my Nero 5 to Nero 6, I can't burn CDs (anymore) or DVDs. I was able to burn CDs without problems with Nero 5. I uninstalled Nero 5 prior to installing Nero 6 and also used Nero's driver and registry clean utilities. To validate a proper installation, I uninstalled and re-installed Nero 6. Still wont burn either. I also tried re-installing Nero 5, it burned CDs without problems. (I'm burning at 8X, since I was given some old CD-R media. Nero 6 also failed with newer CD-R media as well.) Can anyone help me with this problem?
Nero log shows this -

Anyone have this problem and know a possible solution?

ive got the same problem

go to your device drivers, and under controller make sure you're running in dma mode rather than pio mode. maybe it got switched when u installed the software in for some reason

"if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

i've found this to be quite true for nero. something always breaks with each update - so i just stopped updating

 

[Cattlegod]

well, i put in my drive, booted up, installed nero 6 and it wouldn't work.

then i rebooted and installed all the windows updates that were sitting idle in my taskbar. it works now, probably just needed that reboot.

i never got any msgbox to tell me to reboot either, that is why i figured i didn't have to.

are you using the latest version of nero &amp; if so is your dvd burner seen as a recorder under tools>recorders?

 

[BaumerX]

Where did you get your Nero 6 from? Is it an OEM version that came with the DVD drive?

That 'viadsk.sys' driver looks mighty suspicious. Did you install the Via IDE drivers, or the entire 4-in-1 package recently? I have an MSI KT4V-L mobo, and after installing the Via IDE drivers, I had no end of problems with my CD-ROMs, both burning and even reading some disks.

Unless you happen to have a Via 686B southbridge, I highly recommended NOT installing Via IDE drivers, use the default MS ones provided in the OS instead.

It's also ancient - 10/9/2001? Looks like a standard XP in-box driver. If it's a Via MB, try downloading Via's 4-in-1 drivers (4.51 is the latest, IIRC) from www.viatech.com and see if that does anything for you.

Also, do all Windows updates.

Does XP even ship with a Via IDE driver? I don't think so, at least my initial WinXP install didn't show one. It should show "Provider: Microsoft" on the driver's property pages, and I'm pretty sure it would show PCIIDE.SYS or ATAPI.SYS or DISK.SYS or something, not something with Via in the name. I'll have to double-check my WinXP installation on this machine when I reboot.

I'll admit that the 5.0.2195.x version stamp does look like an MS in-the-box driver though.

I do know from personal experience though, that installing the Via IDE drivers *will* tend to cause the issue noticed by the OP, so it seemed reasonable that they might be the problem.

Ok, I just checked the installation files from the Via 4-in-1 4.51v, the IDE drivers are VIAIDEXP.INF and VIAIDEXP.SYS, those don't match. But on a hunch, I checked something else, and indeed, the files from 'IDE_MPD3014.zip' do match, VIAIDE.SYS, with a version stamp of 5.0.2195.3014. And in fact, those are the exact drivers that I had problems with my CD burning.

So to the OP: Uninstall, or better, roll-back (if using XP), your Via IDE Controller drivers to the standard MS ones, and then Uninstall your CD-ROMs and burners, and let Windows re-detect and re-install them using the MS drivers, and hopefully that will solve the problem.

Edit: Just noticed that the OP was from 2004-06-07, I'm going to PM him a link to this thread to make sure he sees it. N/m, his PM is disabled. Hope he sees this.
