Any Nero Experts???

Ok here we go!

I have installed a new DVDRW to my PC and since doing this my Nero has changed.

When I try to copy a disc the source drive is correct, it's the Philips DVDRW.

But the destination drive is Image Recorder and there is no other choice in the drop down menu, how do I configure this, the destination drive should be the same as the source drive, it was prior to installing this new hardware........................HELP!!!

How many dvd drives have you got installed on your computer?

 

[twincamms]

It's a single drive small form factor system.

Also, on my Nero, the option to Quick Copy is greyed out and not available???

 

[ben]

it seems as if the original nero you installed might have been OEM, therefore linked to the drive it came with.... did yuo not get another copy with the new drive?

 

[twincamms]

Ah, well done Ben, you are correct, the Nero was attached to the last piece of hardware I purchased, this drive came with no drivers or software, PC World Component Shop I'm afraid!

What a Divvy!

Across the CD it says:

'This Software Will Only Work With The Hardware It Was Bundled With'

Derr!

i would maybe try re-installin nero as just a test, sometimes when you add new/different drives it has to rescan the aspi (or something along those lines)
Ive had it happen before when i install a new dvd/rw drive, reinstalled nero and it worked.
Guess its worth a try

I have recently installed a DVD drive on my computer, replacing the old cd burner....
The nero i have wasn't bundled with it, but it was still playing up with the new dvd drive. I just reinstalled nero and it worked .

Hope yours is as easy as mine was Otherwise you will have to buy it just like the other 1% of owners

Yeh you could always download the demo of the latest version and if that works you could buy it after the 30 day trial or somethin *cough*

True, but considering Nero Suite3 V6.6 only costs £6.45 OEM, not exactly bank breaking, is it......

 

[Helz]

I can think of a lot of better uses for £6.45 but you are right Stuie, it is rather a good deal compared to some software!

 

[Stu DemonD]

Well, I got an OEM copy in front of me, about to be installed once new HDD in - at that price, wasn't that fussed.

 

[joecinq]

Thats a very reasonable price! If only Adobe did a better deal with photoshop...

Get it off eBay as well, even cheaper:
