SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

When I use Nero "make data disc" to copy my powerpoint files with pictures to burn onto a CD-R or CD-RW using a SAMSUNG CD Writer (52X32X52), I tried to read the powerpoint file after burning from the CD but couldn't even open at all.

Is there some compatibility issue with the SAMSUNG CD Writer or Nero program?

For your information, my PC system is a Pentium 4 with Windows 98 (SE) and the Powerpoint version is from Microsoft Office 97.

Please advise what I should do?

Previously, I had used an ACER CD Writer with the Veritas DLA program and there were no problems.

Thanks & Regards

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Solution for > Power Caliberation error <

i Had this problem, i tried diff medias but the problem persisted, finally i desided i should go with a cleaning from the shop i bought writer from, then i went to bring it back home the service buddy said "we did the service, but they say lense might be weak" so i decided to bring it back and had a try again coz i knew the lense was not weak as i burned only 70 odd cds, i was amazed to see the error was gone and the burning was back to super again...
so i would recomend every one having this problem to have a go with clean servicing to make it smoothest, since i read a lot about this error but couldnt get any solid solution so i decided to post this by my own.. i hope it helps with you all.. Do pray for me.. thanks

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Hi,
I bought a Samsung CD writer 52X32X52.
It can burn audio and Mp3 cds well however after burning a VCD, Windows media player cannot read the file. This problem has happened after using Nero 6, Blazer Pro and Sonic. I have a Windows XP system and I use the drive as a USB drive. Needless to say I have wasted a lot of blank CDs...When I use the CD writer on someone else's laptop it runs well.

I USED TO THINK THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH ONLY MY CD WRITER BUT ACTUAL THING IS THAT THAT SAMSUNG PPL DOES NOT MAKE GOOD CD WRITER. WHOEVER IS READING MY POSTING, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SUGGEST THEM THAT DO NOT EVER BUY A PRODUCT WICH BELONGS TO SAMSUNG PPL. THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM IS SAME WITH ALL CD WRITER OF SAMSUNG ONLY. SAMSUNG SUCH AN ADMIRABLE BRAND AND SUCH A WASTE TO HAV A CD WRITER FROM YOU PPL.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Hi, I have a Samsung writer(Powered by SAT). Let me tell you that it is one big piece of shit. If there is any problem while writing the CD(eg: the power goes, it cannot erase or rewrite on the CD). Recently, I wasn't even able to erase a disc written by the same damn writer itself. It wasted 10 min of my time and then I was able to see the same files in the CD. I was under the belief that it had something to do with my moser baer cds. But I was able to erase them on my cousin's SONY Cd writer. I really miss my HP 8210. Unfortunately, it can't recognize these new hi speed CD RWs. Pity though. I'd used this 4X HP writer for six long years and have written over two hundred times with it. I'm never going to buy stuff from this korean bastard samsung. At least the japs or the american brands focus on quality and will never dole out such crap. From my exp, I would recommmend HP. Don't know much about SONY writers but I will never buy ANYTHING from Samsung again. That'll teach them to dole out shit from their stables.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Hi, i posted my prob then my solution and now i am not contented yet... Cleaning helped me get 2 cds easily but sometimes it is giving problem with few compilations. i believe cleaning is must try for samsung brands and especially lubrication. i believe samsung is no good these days.. but i would like to share one thing.. i never had a prob when i was using the nero driver that came with the samsung box but as i used later version i found this prob.. i am doubtful about the compatibility of new nero 6.x or 7.x. may be this is also the reason for all the above subjects to report error, they all must have used a nero version other than the 5.x i might be wrong so pardon me.
thanks "Ahmed" i would strongly recomend to clean it from the professional cleaner it will work.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Friends, it would be some help if you guys tell us how other brands work and had anyone of you ever faced this power calliberation error with other brands.

I know that samsug had one issue of the tray being held often and had to manually push the tray a little but it certainly is not the reason for this calliberation error. two years ago a fd of mine told me that this is a worthy brand as he had complied a lot of cds without reporting error, so i had a thought that 2 years back nero new driver versions were not as free in market. so may be just may be it has some part to play.

Your opinions will be some help.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Hi guys, I just re-installed my OS (Win98SE...yes I'm still using it and it's 10 times better anf faster than XP). I was doing some research on this problem with the Samsung drive. Just figured out how to tackle this problem of CDs not being written or erased.

I used Nero DriveSpeed (that came with the CD witer)to reduce the read, write and rewrite speeds of the drive and then erased some CDs. It worked fine. Haven't done any extensive testing but I think the problem lies with the drive not being able to handle it's own top speed ratings. As a permanent solution, have Nero DriveSpeed run when you startup Windows. Would appreciate some feedback on whether this works from other users. Igt might solve your power calibration errors.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems

Buy a CD lens cleaner(around Rs 150/- max). Try it and see if you can get your CD drive to work. If not, well a new CD-ROM writer drive costs 1.5K - 2K. Not worth wasting time on researching how to repair an old drive.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems


Dear friends,
I am facing a isssue similar that you are facing but now i planned to solve this issue.
While searching on Internet I go across this thing
http://www.gidforums.com/t-904.html?page=4
or you acn read this--
Solution:-I will try for this solution this sunday.

power calibration error Solved!!!!! (for me)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey,

I had been having power calibritaion errors off and on for the past 6 months and my burner would put 1 second dead airs randomly into audio cds. I have browsed the message boards and this was my sequence of events, which ultimately led to a solution:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-Nero must be doing it, everybody with the problem is using nero

This was WRONG, tried several different cd programs and some wouldn't even burn at all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-Firmware is messed up.

This too was wrong, I tried three different releases of firmware for my drive, none of them worked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*3-I decided my lense was dirty:

This turned out to be the problem, however at first it was deceiving.

I went to Best Buy and bought a lense cleaning cd. This did nothing, in fact I think it may have made things worse.

I got some air duster and just sprayed it around my drive, this is a waste of time and money don't bother. It may be possible to clean the lense this way, but its tought to know where the lense is.

So I gave up for a while, wasted a bunch of cd's and was about to just buy a new burner. Realizing I had nothing to lose I decided to open it up. I took the burner out of the case, and opened the burner up. I noticed there was a negligible amount of dust and I notice the rails that move the lense/laser up and down to read the cd were slightly lubricated but need to be re-lubed. So, I lubricated the metal rails and cleaned the lense with an alchol wipe. This cleared up the problem. I also realized it was taking the player a long time to recongize a cd in the drive, this is not longer a problem either.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some final words of caution: I do not recomend doing this if you aren't comfortable around electronics, I am a computer science major and this computer is a hobby machine so if I !#$% it up, its ok. I am not responsible if you scratch your lense or short out the board on the cd player. DO THE CLEANING PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK. OK. I AM NOT GOING TO BUY ANYBODY A NEW CD PLAYER BECAUSE YOU SCREWED UP. This just worked for me and am I telling people about it.

Here are a couple tips:

Don't rush take your time, it maybe tought to get the cd burner apart.

Make sure you discharge your self of static electricity before disassembling, if you don't know how to do that, maybe you should rethink messing with your computer. (err... To do this simply touch something metal that has a current assocated with it. For example, if you touch your computer case, while the computer is off and still plugged in this should relieve you of static.(assuming your case is metal.))

VERY IMPORTANT: Use cleaning alchol not tap water. Tap water has minerals in it that when they dry may leave deposists on the lense this would be bad.

Also do not attempt to dry the lense off, a small scratch will ruin your burner. Let the alchol evaporate, I promise it won't take long.

If you decide to lubricate the rails, don't use a spray like wd40 it may cause problems if it gets sprayed on the circuit board.

Alright that is about it. This really isn't tough to do and as long as you heed the preacuations things should go realitively smoothely.


Thanks for all your other posts, that helped me fix my burner.


questions can be direct to dan181818@icqmail.com

OH and just for further clarification my model was matshita aka matsushita which is the japanese equivolent of panasonic. The model number was ujdd410.

SAMSUNG CD Writer with Nero Program Problems -- Solved

I have a Samsung DVD-DL/+-R writer and was getting errors when installing the Nero 8 software. On the 1st computer with WinXP Pro SP3 it installed with no problems. But on 2nd system with WinXP Home SP3 it would not install. To solve the problem you must select "Explore" in the menu after you right click the mouse on the DVD icon or symbol and then go to NeroExpress Folder and select "setup" for installation instead of "setupx"! I might have it backwards but one of them should work.
