elaine1 Report post Posted April 23, 2006 ok at the outset, Im a total technophobe. I decided to buy a puter from Dell, but the prob is I have literally loads of files on this one, (i make tags with paint shop pro and animation shop), and obviously i want to transfer them to my new puter. I have nero if that helps, but when i added all the files to a burn list and put in a cdr the draw came out after about 10 mins saying it couldnt burn. Is ther any other way i can transfer a large amount of data onto one disc all at once. I dont want to be faffing about for ages copying onto loads of discs. also, the discs i used were CD-R80 from aldi, are they suitable for copying data to, i know nothing about cds at all!!! hope someone can help im at my wits end.

Hi elaine - The problem is with your settings or media or something (impossible to tell from your description) or possibly nero needs a reinstall, because you should just be able to compile the files in the way you describe, and burn straight to disc... When you get the 'failed' message, what does it say: Usually the dialogue in Nero reads: 'Burn process failed' and you can expand for more details? if any of the files were audio files you need to save as a 'mixed' compilation from stage one... Hope that's helpful BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
