I use rewritable CDs/DVDs quite often for my business (on-site computer fixing), and I have to update the contents of the discs from time to time with the latest installers/utilities.
I use Nero 6 Express for the burning. My confidence in it has been shaken a bit since I found that its 'data verification' feature doesn't work as well as it should (the Scandisc feature in Nero's "Nero CD - DVD speed" utility pointed out files that were damaged, and I verified its findings manually - the source files on my disk are fine). I'm now re-ripping the CD-RW at a lower speed after doing a full erase of the disc.
Does anyone here have similar experiences and any suggestions for getting round these problems?
I'm using an IDE LiteON DVD-reader/CD-writer combo drive (on its own IDE channel), and a USB LiteON DVD writer. I changed from TDK CD-RWs to Verbatim CD-RWs because the latter are more reliable. No scratches on the discs I use.
- edit - I just re-burnt the disc at a lower write speed, success, but I'm still interested in peoples' experiences -
