dRolan Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi - I have nero 6 [downgraded from 8] and I cannot burn to dual layer discs! I've followed some threads, and have found out that I need to enable DMA - not exactly sure what this means, but apparently it should solve my problem. I followed some instructions which said to go to device manager and open the tree IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, but it's not listed! I have tried to update the firmware - I downloaded it from the Optiarc website, but when I try and run the .exe file, it says that it can't find the drive.I can play DVD movies from my drive [dual layer discs] and I can also read dual layer discs that have been burnt using the same program on a different computer. I'm running XP Professional x64.I've found that a lot of other people have this same issue, but no one has posted a solution on any forum! HELP!!!and before anyone asks, I have a DVD +/- DL RW drive. (the Optiarc 5170s].Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks, and all the best,dRolan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think Nero 6 pre-dates dual layer burning.Why did you downgrade to an earlier version of Nero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 -pops- - I've burnt a couple of dual layer DVD-Rs successfully with Nero 6 :) using XP Pro - but only 32bitI believe the Optiarc 5170s is a SATA drive - so I'm not 100% sure where the controllers would show under Device ManagerPS this topic has also been posted at :-http://forum.tweaks.com/forum/Topic237778-1-1.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
