I am having this problem for the second time ,
bought a new cd burner (optorite cd/rw cw5201) it came bundled with nero
burning rom.I used the drive to play music and it worked fine.I then
installed nero and attempted to burn a music cd , nero would not recognise
the cd/r disk. now the drive does not work at all . I also have adaptec ez
cd creator 4 installed.

any helpfull suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

I would not have both of those installed on the same system without
taking great care in the matter.  And I think having nero the first.
I would uninstall both;  tidy up:  get a registry patch file,
cdgone.reg, from www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone .zip, extract it,

Where is the "description" for the  .zip files in the?

r-click on it and merge it into the registry then reboot. then
reinstall the burning software that you intend to use.  Put Nero on
alone and try it out.

Either the drive failed or you have a very severe conflict. Without
knowing your OS, it's hard to say how to locate and to resolve the
conflict, but check for one.
