Hi! I´m having trouble burning cd-rw media on my laptop. When I try to burn cd-rw nero6 says, burn completed succesfully, but the cd is empty! The strange thing is that I can burn cd-r media without any problems. I know for certain that my computer should be able to burn cd-rw media. I´ve tried different brands such as verbatim but nothing seems to work. I´ve also updated the latest firmware and tried to uninstall inCD, which I´ve heard could cause trouble, but without success. Recently I looked at Nero infotool and there it says that my system ASPI installation is corrupted. Could that be what´s causing the problem? Any clues how to install a working ASPI driver? I´m posting a logfile of a burnattempt with a cd-rw. All help appreciated! Thanks everyone!
