I have a cyberdrive cd burner that will not recognise CD-RWs. I have no problem writing to or reading from CD-R but it does not respond to rewriteable disks. Is this a software issue or more likely to be a hardware problem. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Thanks for reply. I am using Nero 5.5.10.56 but having said that even windows explorer asks for a disk to be inserted if I have already loaded one

more important, what media are you using? Have you tried it on a difference CD-RW drive. Have you verified that your drive is "RW" compatable?

Just curious, why are you using CD-RW media?

Last time I bought a 100-disc stack of Verbatim media it only cost $20.

There are two types of CD-RW discs. The old ones are 1x to 4x speed. The newer ones burn at 10x and faster. Older drives that use the 1-4x speeds will not work with the newer 10x and higher discs.

How fast can you bunrr burn re-writable discs?
