Nero 5 won't detect CD-RW drive in XP Home (SP3)
in [Hardware]
|
From: Gas Bag on 3 Apr 2010 21:24 I've recently installed Nero 5.0 on a XP Home Version 2002 (Service Pack 3) system. I have a (LG brand) HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8481B Drive. For some reason, Nero 5.0 won't detect this drive at all. When I select "Choose Recorder" from witin Nero, it only detects the Image Recorder, not the CD-RW Drive. As a result, I cannot burn any CDs using Nero, it will only burn images to the Hard Drive. But I do know the CD-RW burner is working, because I can burn music files using Windows Media Player. It's just that Nero won't detect the CD-RW drive. I'm sure that many other people would've encountered the same/similar problems. I was hoping someone could offer me some help here? Thanks.
From: LD55ZRA on 3 Apr 2010 23:28 Have you tried updating Nero 5 with updates from Nero's website? I have got a CD that contains two update files for Nero5. Please try Nero's website or google for: Nero551056.exe and n551056eng.exe and it might just do the trick. hth Gas Bag wrote: > > I've recently installed Nero 5.0 on a XP Home Version 2002 (Service > Pack 3) system. > I have a (LG brand) HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8481B Drive.

If it's an OEM version of Nero and didn't come with the drive that's probably your problem. I got the retail vesion of 6 for cheap several years ago so never had to figure out how the "adding keys" work.
