i got a new computer about a month ago and its been working fine it has an
Optorite DVD-RW DD0201 and a JLMS DVD-ROM XJ-HD166S ive used it to burn audio disks fine. but when i try to put pictures from my digital camera on a disk using Nero burning rom it burns and says that the disk is complete and there are no errors, but when i read the disk to see if it has worked the disk is shown as blank so i tried it in my old pc and it shows the pictures no problem.

any help would be great

Are you using a CD or DVD disc to burn your pictures to?

Within Nero, are you burning the pictures as data? Are the pictures in seperate folders?

Are you filling the disk to near capacity? Are you selecting to close (finalise) the disk when burning?

And have you tried different brands of recordable media or just the one type?

You seem to be doing everything correctly. If it's only a 30mb file obviously you'd want to choose the multisession option.

I just wondered if you were burning, say, 690Mb and didn't finalise the session, sometimes that can make disks unreadable.

Is the disk unreadable in both your drives?

I'd say try a different media or perhaps get yourself a good quality CD-RW so you can experiement without producing coasters.

You could also try burning at a slower speed.

im using 700mb disks that work fine for music im only putting on 30mb of pics as data but im not sure if by closing you mean unchecking the multisession box if it is the no.

but ive just read in a forum that people are havint the same problems when burning music aswell using nero and the only way they could get it to work was by rebooting which i have just done quickly and it seems to work now.

thanks for your quick reply
