CD Burning Software
Another important set of programs
is used for the CD-RW and DVD drives. We’ll run the CD that comes
with the Verbatim CD-RW. It installs software to burn CDs as well as
a manual to help us understand the burning software.
Your CD-RW will come with its own
software to burn CDs. If you purchase a CD-RW on eBay and don’t
get any disks, search for your CD-RW model online with google.com and
see what burning software typically comes with it. Then, find the manufacturer’s
site and download this burning software and the drivers. You might also
want to see if there are updated drivers online, even if your drive
came with drivers.
After installing the InCD and Nero
5.5 software for the Verbatim CD-RW, we find that InCD works nicely,
but Nero 5.5 won’t burn CDs. When run, Nero
5.5 doesn’t seem to recognize
the Verbatim CD-RW. (Yes, I know, Nero came with the CD-RW. So,
you might think it should work!) Reading the help that was installed
with Nero, we learn that if a CD or DVD drive isn’t recognized,
it might be a newer drive. It’s suggested we go to nero.com and
update our Nero software which should recognize the newer drives.
We go to nero.com and get the update
for Nero 5.5 and install it. Now the Verbatim CD-RW and Nero play nicely
together. InCD and Nero are actually a wonderful software package for
such a low-priced drive.
Sometimes when software isn’t
working properly with a new system, software updates can be found at
the manufacturer’s website that will correct the problem.
