LOL got it 2 work...
You know how... By taking off Nero 6 and putting nero 5 back on

Why the hell its not working with nero 6 i don't know?
But im still having problems... I can burn onto DVD-RAM disks but am having problem with burning to DVD-R disk? It tells me "Error Power calibration"


Whats going wrong know?

Thanks for the help josh..

Somer versions of Nero that come free with drives are locked to particular drive models and you get weird erros like that.

I think the whole CD and DVD wiriting system in XP needs an overhaul to be honest - its been at best flakey both at home and at work, especially on DVD writers.
