burner program

I traded for a new aopen 24x burner (new in the box)

it came with nero 5.5

everything installed/looked fine.

burnt data disk no problem...it works

burnt copy of a game...nero said success....but the game wont load/play
burnt copy of win98se...nero said success...but the copy wont load without errors.

tried adaptec 4.02 and 3.01....software says there is no burner in the pc.

tried click and burn pro...same problem....it cant find the burner

found an old program from years ago I downloaded off the net called clone cd

works like a charm.....

Im at a lost as to why legit software wont work and a old "hacked" version of clone cd will.

is my 600 mhz cpu not fast enough for the 24x burner?

I had a 16x yamaha that worked like a charm using adaptec but lightning got it thats why i traded for the 24x.

any ideas?

havent tried an audio cd as i dont use/collect audio cd's

however I tried all the way down to 4x and nero burn still makes coasters of games and programs.

I even tried sending data to hd first and burn from image file.. nero makes coasters.

24x burner has only 2mb buffer...still I should be abe to burn at 4x with no problems.

my old yamaha with adaptec would burn at 16x in the same computer with no coasters (even on the fly)

Im stumped as too the problem with nero and adaptec.

Old software doesn't support newer drives. That's the reason adaptec says it doesn't see your burner.

CloneCD is the ideal solution for making backups of protected cds. It can handle (if your drive is up to it) a bunch of protection schemes whilst nero/roxio aren't meant for that.

That's the reason many burning enthusiasts have a copy of both, nero and clonecd.

Win98se cd shouldn't be copy protected. Are you trying on the fly copy? You could try making an image of the disc in question and burning the image back to a cd.

probably time to update your ASPI layer.
Take a look at www.vcdhelp.com

Game CDs are not the best choice to burn because of their built in protection schemes. One protection scheme (at least this is how I understood it) is to arrange the data on the original CD such that copying the CD will cause the copy to lack data which is contained in sectors which are deliberately created to look like they are bad sectors. The copying routine will see the error, drop the supposedly bad zones, and along with the bad zone, the deliberate data gets tossed out.

MrLuigis' post might help you... My PC had many many problems while burning Linux ISOs under Windows98SE. I figured maybe the good old 4x2x6 drive was finally burned out. I eventually got a certain Linux CD burned, it was a bootable Linux CD, so I booted it up, and was running Linux from a CD (runs a little slow at times, but awesome otherwise). While running that CD (Knoppix Linux 3.1), I figured I'd try burning a CD - I was already losing >80% of my burns, so why worry about one more coaster?

Knoppix Linux burned 3 CDs in a row, flawlessly.

I guess my hardware works OK, so I posted here and there, and got the same response: check your ASPI layer. I went to Adaptec, downloaded the latest ASPI software which included a version checking program; the ASPIcheck executable declared my ASPI layer was more than 3 whole revisions old! Now I'm burning under Windows98SE.

It worked for me.....
