Is Neron Burning Rom compatible with Adaptec Direct Cd?

[TheLizardMan]

I have Nero Version: nero99MP3 5.0.0.3
and also direct cd version 2.5
will they bth be compatible? I heard now a few months ago and i would like to know before i install direct cd.

Thanks

I have them both installed and they both seem to work 100% I like Adaptec for its fast cd copy. nero always gives me Errors.

 

[Kappo]

ack! I have formatted and REFUSE to use ANYTHING that says Adaptec...and I wont use the crappy plextor utilities either...
I DO sometimes get errors in NERO as well..but for the most part it runs perfectly!
I always had problems running direct CD and ANY other writing software...now I just use CLONECD and NERO exclusively...

Direct cd always screws up my burner programs once its installed. I would avoid installing it.

I wasn't able to install Nero until I removed DirectCD. Nero uses another app called InCD to do packet writing.

Defref, yeah I had that problem too, install nero first. then it should work.

 

[TheLizardMan]

so install nero first. then directcd?

does anyone else say this works?

I installed Nero first, then eventually installed Direct CD and they both worked fine. However, now I get an error message trying to use Nero, something about 'drive not ready' when I open Nero up. Anyone know what's up with that?

the nero website has a patch or something that will allow you to select which drivers to load up when your system starts if u want to have both programs installed on your computer.

Direct cd Starup Patch

)Go here for more patchs
Bootmenu for the usage of more than one CD burner software
With the help of a bootmenu is it possible to choose between Nero
and another CD writer software during the bootup. The startup files
will disable the parts of the unused program(s).

i have found even better burning software than either nero or adaptec- Winon CD 3.7 professional. i got it the other day and have been messing with it last few days. it has better packet writting software than direct cd and is a whole bunch easier to use. if you can find i highly recommend this

I have had no problems with Nero and Adaptec EasyCD. Lots of problems with those two and Prassi though.
