Try writing to the "Image Recorder" in Nero, then write that image to your
CDRW.

I wanna comment on one thing you said:

"...because Nero doesn't detect his DVD at all! I find it hard to believe
since it's also from Creative."


I would have agreed with you 1 year ago. After all Creative makes good
stuff, right?  Wrong. They USED TO make good stuff, namely, soundcards. I
have an SBLive!, and I'm fairly happy with it, but try lurking on the
soundblaster.live Newsgroup and you'll see that Creative treats its
customers there, like they treat those of us stupid enough to be suckered
into their product name with non sound devices. Get this straight: Creative
DOESN'T make CDROM's or CDRW's, or Modems or DVD players (afaik). They send
a group of suits (read: lawyers) out to cut deals with _real_ hardware
manufacturers - the good ones: Plextor, etc. They buy  X quantity of  CDRW's
from them, slap their name on the front, and into the BIOS, and give 'em to
all the reviewers and pundits... like ZDNet, etc. Then, when the reviews are
great (as they _will_ be) and the X quantity of good drives runs out, they
pull a switcher-a-roo. They switch to 2nd rate manufacturers (I shouldn't
say 2nd rate... but lesser quality anyway) - and slap the SAME NAME on this
totally different drive. Then the masses (read:us suckers) buy up the 2nd
rate product, thinking we're getting "good creative stuff".

So, don't find it "hard to believe". Creative cares only about the dollar.
They could care less if their DVD's and CDRW's play together nicely -
because they aren't really theirs. They're sad now cuz they've lost the edge
they had 8 or so years ago... when they used to innovate. Now they're just a
reseller with a good name.... SO FAR.... That will, and should change.

anyway.. that's my $.02
