----> Look out for lose cable connections in ur mother board.

I donot know about nero6.6.But for using rewritables u need to install Incd from the nero6.6 cd.Incd allows to format ur rewritable and all other stuff.It will allow u to use ur rewritable as alarge floppy drive(if ur drive supports mt.rainier)

hi,
@vasanth_12345, Incd is not compulsary for cd-rw's. it is just another method. even without that we can use cd-rw's in nero also.

@(S)aint, did you formated or used that rw first in your friends system.
why means, if he had used the Incd, that uses different writing tech. (format) than normal nero and then if you format it in your nero, the disk could not work properly. i lost a RW disk because of this reason.
so i think it may be the reason. anyway wait for others posts.
thank you.

no my friend did use nero and not InCD

and i'm using Win XP SP2
and it says "Session fixation error"

You can use the cd burning software integrated in windows.
Just drag and drop.

ur friend has RW drive or combo drive ?? i hav heard of problems when cdrw first used with combo drive later not workin in cdrw drives

[vijaythefool]

Have u burned the cd on a LG drive ? try deleting the cd at the slowest speed (Full erase) on the drive u last to write it .

Even i had the same problem once with moserbaer 8x-12X rw cd
got it corrected doing this .
try it , may fix the problem .

well still not solved, after a bit of searching i did find a forum that sort of had the same problem only on a DVD though.. and the answer there was to upgrade firmware.....so that's what i did. That didnt work.....I'm just tired of this. I think I'll exchange the CD with someone :roll:

Hi (S)aint
Dont give up.... Did u try to erase the Cd at slowest speed possible in the same drive... Coz I have done it and wow... it worked thereafter....

well yes i did and as i said in the first post i cant even erase it...and i couldn't this time too. :roll:it says "Disc speed error"....and the only thing i found about that was to upgrade firmware which i did........so that leaves me with???
