Can no longer format CD-R/W disks with InCD
Hello & thanks for reading,
Using Windows ME, a "Pine" 24X10X40 burner, Nero InCD v3.5.24.0. I've been using these for years with no problems. It's something I must have done. Here's the deal: Any unformatted CD-RW disks I insert, I cannot format using InCD. These are disks that used to work and are from the same batch that worked earlier. They are "Staples" 74 min/650MB/1x - 4x, they used to work fine in my system. The burner, and InCD, can access and use (i.e. read from, write to, erase) previously formatted CD-RW's. When I insert an unused CD-R/W disk, I receive one or the other of these InCD error codes: "0051-0003-0064-00c0" or "0051-0005-0072-0003". The message accompanying these goes something like "disk error occurred, media may be damaged, restart computer and try again". I have tried again and have tried more, unformatted disks with no success. I've searched "Google" and "User Groups". Nothing. I apologize if this is off topic, but this is a very knowledgeable and helpful group. What am I missing or where should I be looking? The Ahead Web Page is no help. Thanks in advance! John Sliva ) |

John, if your burner still reads, writes and erases previously formatted
Disks, then try a different Brand. It could be that as the burner gets older it has a harder time working with cheaper disks. "John Sliva" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the info, Rich.
Here's a twist. A CD-R-W I've been using for a backup disk is recognized and is readable. However, I cannot delete files from it or add files to it! I've been using Staples CD-R/W and HP CD-R/W disks. What I'm going to try next is perform a complete uninstall of InCD using the utility from the Ahead Web Page. I'll then reinstall version 3.5.24.0 of InCD as it "used" to work for me. I also performed a complete Registry search and removal of any Adaptec or Roxio stuff. That did not seem to help. I still cannot figure how, when, or why this happened! Maybe I should remove all of Nero and InCD and give Roxio a try? Always something! ;-) Thanks again, and I'll let you know how I make out!

Here's a twist. A CD-R-W I've been using for a backup disk is recognized
and is readable. However, I cannot delete files from it or add files to it! I've I had this with one particular - good but aging - CDRW disc (and InCD). Whenever it happened I'd copy the files to the HD and was then able to format the disc and burn to it again. However, the problem occurred with increasing frequency until I binned the disc. Shane |

Hello all,
OK, I'm stumped, really stumped. I've managed to pull out of a lot of Windows ME "nose dives", but this one is different. Here's what I've tried so far, with no results: 1) Completely uninstalled both Nero and InCD. 2) Hunted down every instance of both Adaptec and Roxio in the registry and deleted them (...there were a bunch!). 3) Reinstalled the OEM Nero and InCD that came with the CD-R/RW drive (...the drive is a "Pine" 24x10x40). 4) Bought some NEW Sony 1x2x4 CD-RW's. 5) Tried to format one with InCD - Didn't work. Got error code 0051-0003-0064-00c0 6) Updated both Nero and InCD to the last version updates I once had been using successfully - Didn't work, same error. 7) Put in a previously formatted CD-RW and it is recognized, but I can neither add to it nor delete from it. 8) Big whoop, I can still record CD-R's. At least Nero seems to be working as before. It's just that InCD is acting up. Any help/suggestions would again be much appreciated, even if to say "trash that Pine drive and get something with a "brand name""! Would switching over to Roxio have it's share of glitches? I'm just puzzled as to what happened to cause all this and that I cannot seem to undo it. Somehow, I must have shot myself in the foot! Ouch! Again, thanks for reading. If this is getting off topic, I apologize in advance and will stop all further inquires if so requested. John Sliva "Shane" wrote in message ... Here's a twist.

Not sure what Nero version you're on. Not that it should matter except in
that whichever, you can probably still get a free update to a later build. This is advisable as it has become a significantly more stable product over the years. Obviously you're not using Nero 6, but with luck you are using Nero 5.5. If so you can update for free to Nero551056, but anyway look he http://www.nero.com/en/nero-up_vor.php for what you can update to. More importantly perhaps though is that you can update for free to the very latest version of InCD. Take a look he http://www.nero.com/en/update.php?pak=5 InCD, much more than Nero, has benefitted from continual development. If you are having issues then you really want to be using the latest build. Shane "John Sliva" wrote in message ... Hello all, OK, I'm stumped, really stumped.
