But if I try to use Xpress under Platinum It's read a disk and after I put blank in won't burn. This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 21 Sep 03 2:31 AM

Conrad Inactive 22 Sep 2003 12:31 PM	szelivia, Who makes your burner? Do you have Nero's InCD installed? Rag Tag Dual-Dozen
dave64 Inactive 22 Sep 2003 1:37 PM	I too am having this same problem with platinum refusing to burn discs.reads the dvd ok,then just asks for blank media all the time no matter how many different blank discs I try. The only way I can copy discs is by using the temp folder files in a stand alone version of nero.I also have xpress which also burns fine. system: windows xp (no service pack) AMD Athlon xp2000+(1.67GHz) 512mb RAM Philips dvdrw228

dave64 Inactive 22 Sep 2003 4:45 PM	I have taken the steps you advised,ie:uninstall software and add service pack 1,and re-installed platinum but it still doeos not let me burn any discs.Still asks for blank media.

garyjay Junior Member 7 Oct 2003 12:00 AM	I too am also having the same problem. When buring copy using Platinum, it reads source, asks for blank and NEVER recognizes that I've inserted the blank and therefore I never get the green START button. With DVD Xpress (still installed), it works fine.
chaz4 Newbie 7 Oct 2003 11:59 AM	Me, too! Just "please insert a blank DVD"! No InCD, no Drop to Disk, no Nero. Should i install Nero? CWW+++
murrayv Inactive 8 Oct 2003 12:05 AM	I too have experienced this very same problem. The cause in my case though is that express (simple mode) refuses to use the options I have chosen in settings, so instead of using my TDK 440n DVD burner (slave) it is trying to burn a DVD disc using my Liteon 52327s cdr/w drive (master). I have as of yet been able to resolve this problem. As for other programs possibly being the problem I have the following software installed and can burn dvd’s with my TDK 440n and Dvdxcopy platinum flawlessly (in advanced mode, not express). O/S Windows XP Pro. (sp1 installed) Nero 6.0 Roxio Ezcd creator 6.1 (with Drag to Disc installed and running perfectly, it has not interfered with any other software I have) Alcohol 120% 1.4.6 Build 711 DVD x copy platinum ver 3.1.1 Relevant system components (an oldie but a goodie) Asus A7pro mobo CPU Amd 750 duron 512 megs memory Liteon 52327s cdr/w drive TDK 440n dvd recorder Firmware revision 1.06 (Since I have yet to encounter a problem and everything seems to be running smoothly I have decided to stay with the current firmware revision that my drive came with. If anyone has a solution for express (simple mode)and making it use the drive I have chosen in settings I would greatly appreciate the help. Murray.
ireland Inactive 8 Oct 2003 2:01 AM	MURRAYV, CHANGE YOU DVD BURNER TO MASTER AND CHANGE YOUR CD-BURNER TO SLAVE.....AND REINSTALL PLATINUM OVER ITS SELF...OR DISCONNECT YOUR CD-BURNER JUST TO SEE IF IT SELECTS YOUR DVD-BURNER..AFTER A REBOOT.... YOUR MORALE RAG-TAG "IRELAND" RAG-TAG (#4)
nest Newbie 8 Oct 2003 5:22 AM	I had same problem using simple mode. It just asks to put in blank media. Disabeling my cd-burner made the start button green and the burn ok. My cd-burner liteon 48246 is prim. master. My dvd-burner sony dru500 is sec. master. It didn´t have to be on the same ide contr. to make trouble. Regards nest
garyjay Junior Member 8 Oct 2003 11:50 AM	Is there an easy way to disable/enable a CD Burner in Windows XP? I burn music CDs much more often that Video DVDs. I'd hate to have to open my computer case and unplug my CD burner every time I want to burn a DVD with DVDXCOPY Platinum. If disabling the CD Burner is required to enable the DVD burner to work with Platinum simple mode, I'd keep using the old Xpress. I would hope, since this works in their DVDXpress standalone version, a patch will be released that will enable the new Platinum to work with
