It seems nero still has a lock on the drive have you tried to Uninstall/Reinstall Nero.
Putting the drive in another pc will confirm if Nero has done something nasty windows wise to stop the drive working. If it repeats in another pc or if you cannot test this way it may be worth flashing the drive. Samsung has a live update program and some great FAQs on flashing here,
Make sure the software for this DVD drive is installed into the PC and then your drive is connected to be detected and installed, This will also remove off all previous drives that might cause errors.
If your CD-writer previously work, and now does not work, i.e., cannot "read" a "blank" disk, it's time to spend $40 to buy a brand-new CD/DVD reader/writer drive.
Hardware fault.Try cleaning the lens using a can of compressed air and a q-tip. If this doesn't fix it then the dust has been baked on the lens and this is terminal. Junk this writer and buy a new one, it's cheap.
we may need more details but you can try this for now
1. are you sure you have a cd writer or a dvd writer (writer = burner)--- check the front edge of your cd/dvd unit and look for words like "writer" "burner" or writeable next to the word dvd or compact disc... keep in mind not all cd/dvd writer can write (burn) cd or dvds, some may burn cd but not dvds.
2. is your cd/dvd unit compatible with the media (cd or dvd blank disk) you are trying to use.. depending your cd/dvd especifications your dvd/cd drive is compatible with certain types of cd or dvds that are writeable.
3. is the cd/dvd a writeable cd/dvd and is compatible with your cd/dvd drive? for instance.. if you are using a blank dvd and your cd/dvd drive only burn cd/s and read dvd and cd you won't be able to write to the blank dvd.
4. are you trying to burn a dvd in a corporate computer.?? as a user (not an administrator) of your corporate computer you may not have priviledges that will allow them to burn dvd/cd's even you your drive and your media are compatible.
please post
the error that you get
the brand and model of the computer you're using
the type of media you're using
first u buy a new lens cleaner for ur pc and run it on ur cd drive den ry to burn a new disk and see it burn or not if same prolem again comes then it is sure dat ur lense sensitivity gets low....
now it is not capable of writing ny thing only capable od read various cds......
if r havin more problems wid ur writer ask me for more solution..
sounds like the disks you are writing are not coming out well, try burning at a lower speed,
I had this problem on mine, the drive is capable of 24X but I get quite a few faulures, writing at 16x works well for me.
What is the error if any, are you using a third party software?
