  • Okay need a bit more information....

    Which operating system are you using? - Windows XP (Pro/Home), 98 etc?

    Which version of Nero are you using? (Help - About)

    What is the exact and complete text of the error message?

    At what stage in the burning process does the error occur?
  • ok its windows xp and nero 6,i can make the compilation and the burner drive is correctly identified as "E",however when i click burn it says "drive is in use".

  • ..............and if that doesn't work, go into Nero Info Tool and check ASPI layer isn't corrupted/uninstalled (for both system and Nero).
