I use Nero 6 expression to make a backup copy of my video and music files, but it takes me around 2 hrs to complete the burning process.The DVD disc is made by Sony with maximum 4.7GB capacity, and supports 1-8x burning speed. Is it better to zip the files before they are burned?
neither wmp 11 or roxio recognizes a blank disc. when i try to burn a disc (dvd or cd) both wmp 11 and roxio tells me to insert a blank disc. i have tried putting a disc in first, or wait for the program to tell me to insert disc but neither way works!:
I just bought a laptop with XP pro. I would like to burn a backup of the O/S to disc. I can't do it. I read one of the articles from a prior post and it leads me to believe that I can't do it.
I know it's maybe the wrong NG, but could you help or direct me to the right one.This morning I tried to burn data to a DVD......only burnt the intro then stopped with a error.Tried again ... same thing...Virus checked, spyware checked, all OK Did a sfc scannow, did a system restore to 2 days ago.Tried again, same results.Un-installed Nero and removed all traces from registry.Reloaded Nero.Tried again, same results. I can burn to DVD-RW and CD-RW and CD-R but not DVD+ or DVD-I am adding the error message, I know its long but in other posts it has been said that not enough info is given.Nothing unusual happened at shutdown last night or bootup this morning.Problems seem to start at 8:48:15 AM #21 I don't know how to interpret this data
I'm running XP Home on a Sony VAIO. The PC has a partitioned HD: C (main), & D (storage). I defrag every night.
This evening, I got the dreaded "not enough disc space to complete disc defragmenter" message. Suddenly tonight I'm showing only 2% free space on drive C. I went in and changed my System Restore percentage from 12% to 6%. Now I'm showing 6% free space (but still can't defrag).
I shouldn't have had to change my System Restore percentage tho. I'm sure that's not the culprit. Up until last night the C drive was nowhere near this full. Something's there tonight that wasn't yesterday. ...A whole LOT of something. The Defrag graph is showing a nearly FULL C drive with a LOT of red "fragmented" files"
I've been doing a bit of downloading, but after it's on the desktop (part of C), I move it to the D storage drive (which has a LOT of free space remaining).
Something's fishy. I'm no expert, but I'm thinking I need to find some type of application to tell me what's suddenly on that drive taking up all this space. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
My packard bell notebook model (easynote) E-3242 running windows XP. After installing SP2, XP wont load, even in safe mode. I already used cd-bootable Knoppix to copy all documents i needed to rescue. At this point a complete Re-install would be great, but alas, no install disk came with this notebook, And i lost the recovery discs i made. I do NOT have any XP disc available.How can I begin a re-install or similiar from the Hardisk with no Discs?
I get a little confused by terms like restore vs recovery, which are often interchanged incorrectly IMO -and then there are the terms bootable disc and startup disc, which can also get confusing - and I have seen other terms used also.
please explain exactly what you mean by the "bootable XP CD". I have a new XPsp2 home edition pc, and I had a millennium before that (which I made a "startup disc" for in add/remove programs - so I guess a startup disc is yet another term for boot disc - it was only a 3-1/2" diskette (less than a meg), and it would get my millennium to boot by typing "scanreg /restore" at a prompt that you eventually came to.
For my XP, I immediately made a Compaq "recovery dvd" (it took 2-dvd's) utilizing the "Compaq recovery cd-dvd creator" in start/programs/pc tools. This dvd (can also use cd's but it takes 8 or 9 cd's I believe) contains everything that is on the pc (from the factory), and which is also in the system recovery partition D:. There is also something called a "Recovery Tools CD", which I did not burn, since it did not seem necessary, after reading about it in the "troubleshooting and system recovery guide" that came with my Compaq. I will burn that one to, if you can explain what it will do, that I can't ultimately achieve by using the "recovery dvd". The manual said that one of the things the "recovery tools cd" did was to remove the system recovery partition (drive D), so you could use it - but I'm sure there is another way of doing that from within the pc once you got it running using the recovery dvd - am I right - I've never messed around with partitioning, since I have no need to.
My new XP did not come with any "bootable CD" per se, and I made the "recovery dvd", as stated above. So please shed some light on what the "bootable XP CD" is that you refer to (because you said that a "restore Cd is really overkill" - I assume you mean the "recovery CD" that I mentioned). Also please provide your comments on the "recovery tools CD", and any other comments you have on the various terminologies I have mentioned above.

increasingly I am coming across more and more files that are over the 700 MB limit when burning data to CD-Rs (e.g. the file might be 950MB) Instead of writing them to DVD - is zipping them and then burning to cd ok? I do not want to go back to the file in a couple of months to learn that the file got corrupted during zipping or failed to decompress properly. So your experiences / opinions of zipping files and then burning them to CD-R?
I've got a version of Nero that's not compatible with Vista and I've grown to really like, so I thought I'd install it on an XP virtual machine after I upgrade, but I'm trying it out now and it doesn't seem to recognize that my drive is a burner. But, the reasons I want to do it I suppose aren't really relevant. I realize I could write an iso and burn it in Vista, but is there just a way to get VPC to recognize my burner?My computer specs are in my sig, and my first burner is just whatever default comes with that computer (sorry, I honestly don't know how to tell anything more specific about it), and my second burner is an external usb dvd burner, called "ez-dub."

I'm trying to create a bootable slipstreamed CD with Windows XP SP2. I have everything extracted and the update applied to the files. Files are on the hard drive. The problem is in burning the CD.I'm using Nero 7 Ultra. I choose Boot CD and check the box to enable expert features (according to instructions: ttp://www.helpwithwindows.com/Windo...2-bootcd.html).The problem is that the box doesn't stay checked. Consequently, the CD doesn't boot. I've removed and reinstalled Nero and rebooted several times. No error messages, nothing. I check the box, click OK, go to Compilation Properties, and the box is unchecked

If you wanna burn a CD on one of your company's computers, and if that computer has cd-burning disabled, you think: Huh? It's just a checkbox! Well it ain't. They have probably used a reghack which i call cdr_off. This is the reghack that they have prolly used:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer]"NoCDBurning"=dword:00000001If you want to ENABLE CD-burning, copy the regcode above into notepad, change the 1 to a 0 and save as cdr_on.reg. Run it and voilá!
I was burning a DVD on my roommate's computer and the DVD burner quit doing anything about halfway through it. I click cancel, wait a few minutes, nothing happens. I close the program through the task manager, I get nothing. After waiting a couple more minutes, I press and hold the power button on the tower. Anywho, I restart the computer and it takes me to this screen here: What's wrong? BTW, no hardware has been installed/uninstalled since he bought the computer. FWIW, I'm fairly familiar with Windows.
I have tried to install a new xp pro sp3 disc on a new computer but have been getting errors in the installation. I have tried 3 different times but it says that the disc is missing some components and when it is final it does not work properly.
I finally talked to a tech person that asked me if I had another disc and I have an older sp2 disc. He said to install that but when I put in the key for my new disc it does not work with my older disc. I finally put in my old key and it worked fine. THe installation went off without a hitch but I won't be able to use my old key when I activate it. When I install the sp3 download will I be able to change my key to the new disc key?
