Hi,
I'm having trouble with my new rewritable.

What I have.
1. A new creative cdrw that says 8-4-32 on the front, ( that's also the only
one listed on Creative's site ) but in device manager it is a cdrw-8438
2. nero software that came with the cdrw version 5.0.2.0 Creative
3. win 98 se
4. 1.3 athlon, month old computer with clean install. the computer works
fine.
5. the creative is set up as secondary master by itself on the cable. the
source cd is a affrey 50x set up as a slave on the primary with the
harddrive.

Things that have happened.
1. software installed fine
2. creative cd works as far as installing software and the usual basic cd
uses
3. Nero always recogizes the cdrw
4. I tried the first time to burn at 8x, then 4x, then 2x, and finally 1x.
and one of two things happens everytime.
5. when I try to copy a cd, one of two things happens, ( same thing happens
when I test and burn, or just simulate) I get one of the following error
messages, and sometimes both trays pop out, sometimes one, sometimes none.
6. sometimes Nero stops at this error message,

             "Please insert an empty cd to us during simulation"

if it stops here, I have put in ten or fifteen different blanks it can never
see it.

7. Three times it has got past that point, and when it does, I always get
this message,

            "Simulation failed at 4x (600kbs)"


8. I don't know what else to do.

I hope someone can help me,

Thanks in advance,
