I have a computer running Windows Xp sp2 pro, Nero 8.1.1.4, Alcohol 120 and DVDRW "LG GSA-H12N". I always copied any kind of media and burned tens of images but yesterday I decided to try clonecd 5.3.1.0 and after installation and reboot I was no longer able to erase cd or dvd.
Using nero the error message was: Invalid command
Using clonecd: Disc erase failed
I tried different routes in order to solve the problem:
a) phisically removed LG unit and tested it on another pc. It worked perfectly
b) Re-attached LG and updated the firmware
c) tried again using 5 new TDK
but the problems was still present so I substituded LG with a NEC NEC ND-3520A but nothing to do.
Finally I completely removed Nero, Alcohol and Clonecd using Total Uninstall. After a reboot I again installed Nero and Clonecd and now I'm able to erase and burn disc using Nero but not using Clonecd that, during an erase attempt say: "Disc erase failed".
The strange thing is that writing an image is ok but when it attempts to burn the image on the cd, the error is:
Writing to NEC ND-3520A failed
I didn't find a solution although I searched for hours using google. Can someone give me any suggestion please?
