just use nero, most the other programs will give you a shitty cd to coaster ratio

just using Nero will not fix your problem. I for one have Nero, and mine does the exact same thing that ****'s does. i've labeled it as being something corrupt in the computer itself. ie, not enough memory, disc memory, corrupt software files (even though i completely got rid of nero and re0installed it and it still won't work) etc. my only option now is to re-install xp and start over. cuz mine will only go to about 8% then stop, red light comes on on the burner and the system freezes. it's a ------- nightmare. only solution is manual shutdown and an ejeciton of a now worthless cd-r.

good luck **** my man, i'd just suggest a reformat and you should be good to go.

or you could just be lazy like me...dlete a bunch of worthless crap off your computer, and use the ghetto way to burn a cd through windows media player. i don't think you can make mp3's or data cd's. but a good ol audio will work just fine. just limit your selections to 25 or under total files and /or 75-80 mins or under total mins and you're on fire!

Eh, I wouldn't go and reformat your hard drive quit yet, thats the ----- way to get out of things, instead of just eliminating the problem

Reinstall the program and get rid of useless ---- on your pc and work from there. If you feel the need to reformat your hard drive, make sure you dont ---- up and make sure your partition is set at 100% so you don't waste any space

in ****'s case it probably isn't necessary, but it's a good way to ensure everything will be working right again. in my case however, it's a must. my computer is fucked up and has been for a long time. i'm just lazy and don't have a second hd to put some of my stuff on. but i've been through all this before on here. no need to repeat it all.

good luck fookz0rs :P

Eh, true. ****, just borrow someones hard drive and connect it on the IDE cable right beside the other one. Make sure it is jumpered correctly (Slave or Master, or to be safe Cable Select), plug in power and you're good to go
