Cannot complete the CD Writing Wizard.
There was an error in the writing process.
I am unable to create a CD-R disk, using Windows XP's built in CD burning
software. I am trying to place text & image files, total < 200 MB .
HOWEVER, I can create a music cd using Windows Media Player
After formatting a CD-RW disk, on the PC in question, using XP's formatting
tool, I received the same error message when I tried to put files on a CD-RW
disk. Thus I do not think that http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_883523.aspx applies.
Windows XP Home SP2
Dell Dimension 2400
P4, duo core 2.4 GHZ
384 MB
40 GB, > 25% free
Sony Dual Layer 16x + / - DWG120AB2BL
Norton Internet Security 2005, up to date; no viruses detected
The PC shipped with ONLY a CD player. DVD dual layer Sony burner was
installed 18 Jan 2006. Upgrade to XP SP2 occurred Nov 2004.
I have ensured that "enable CD Recording on this drive" is checked.
I set IMAPI service to automatic. I started it. I set recovery for 1st, 2nd
& 3rd to "restart the service". But, after trying to create a CD-R disk,
IMAPI is "unstarted".
Nothing noted in event viewer > system, nor applications.
Nothing noted system info > software environ > windows error reporting.
I am using the XP burning software because I installed Nero 7 Ultimate &
burning failed.
I have contacted Nero multiple times on this issue, via email & their online
tech support form. They responded only twice. Neither reply addressed the
issue. They asked for the report from the nero info tool. I sent that to
them, 2 weeks ago. I'm still waiting for a reply.
I have called Nero customer service in California. They asked me to send
them a problem description. I did. That was 8 days ago. I'm still waiting
for a reply from them.
From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3241...23120121120120, I tried
To remove and reinstall the device driver for the CD-R drive or the CD-RW
drive:
1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
3. Click the drive that uses the driver you want to remove.
4. On the Action menu, click Uninstall.
When you are prompted to confirm the removal, click OK.
5. On the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes.
I have tried various "name brand" CD- R & CD-RW disks.
I have tried garden variety text documents.
I have set the burning speed from "fastest" to 8x.
I am still not able to create a CD, using Windows XP's built in CD burning
utility.
I have run every Nero 6 & 7 clean up tool I can find. After multiple
attempts, I have been able to install Nero 6, then create a data CD, so I
know that the problem is not caused by the burner.
I sure hope you can help me.
