INCD problems

I have been using INCD 4 from Ahead Nero. The biggest problem is that I have
to reformat the CD-RW very often because something won't write or get errors
message. Sometimes it will only last two weeks and have to reformat the
CD-RW again. This gets very frustrating because I have to spend so much time
to copy all the files again. There are times that CD-RW just read without
stopping and only way for me to do that is to reboot the computer without
properly shutting down. I have to throw away this CD when it does that. I
had to throw this one away when I had it for 6 weeks. Do anyone know any
other kinds of software to format CD-RW that works good? Please let me know.
I spent lots of money throwing away CD-RW due to that problem. If there is
another software that works, I certainly won't use Ahead Nero INCD again.
 
I have never had any problems with InCD. I'm using version 3.5, I haven't
bothered to get the latest version out of laziness. You shouldn't have to
reformat the disk just because something won't write to it. I have a couple
of disks I use for backups and I have written to them dozens of times and
erased some files, too. They are perfect and work every time. Even through
a format and install of XP recently. I just installed my older version of
InCD and then upgraded with a backup disk holding version 3.5. Have you
uninstalled InCD and then reinstalled it?

Sometimes this is caused by the poor writing capabilities of the drive you
are using. I have found that if you write to a CDRW and then read it in some
CD-ROM drives or DVD drives, it seems to mess with the soft surface of the
CDRW disk. Also if you abort a write it can also do the same. Since I
changed my CDRW drive I haven't had these problems. Of course it could be
that your CDRW disk is near the end of its life, especially if you have used
it for a number of years or even a lot. I find using compactflash cards for
data transfer much easier and less volatile. All XP computers with USB can
read the drive units as a separate drive so it makes sense to get yourself a
512Mb card and wave godbye to the CDRW - unless of course you are using it
for music or for non XP computers.
 
Don't throw the CDs away.
Reboot and try to read them again.
 
Version 3.5 did not have this problem. Version 4.100 DID have this problem!

I am using version 4.241 that I downloaded and updated from the www.nero.com
site and I stopped having problems.
