Hi,

I'm using Nero 6.3.1.20, Xp, CD writer Philips PCRW5224
When I want to write to a 800mb cd Nero says there's not enough space on the disc (but there is )
Anyone any idea what might be the problem ?

Thanx a lot!!

Do you have over burn enabled in Nero?

Where can i change that setting ?

Nero Express > More > Configure > Expert Features > (check box) Enable overburn Disk-at-Once burning > OK

i enabled it, set maximum cd size to 90 minutes... but still not working

Does Windows recognise the disk as a 800mb disk or a 702mb disk (in My Computer > Right click on disk > Properties)?
If it recognises it as a 702mb disk it may be that your CD-RW drive needs an update of firmware, you'll probably find it somewhere here http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php, but make sure you get the right one! I can't stress that enough!
If Windows recognises it as an 800mb disk ignore the firmware issue...

Windows recognized as 702mb.

I updated but still the same problem

I'm getting a little desperate

This sounds more towards a product limitation on behalf of your CD rewriter manufacturer...
(Evidence; Windows Reads it as 702mb, firmware updates don't solve it)...
Therefore a few things come to mind;
1) Contact your CD Rewriter Manufacturer, tell them the exact problem, how Windows and Nero recognise it as a 702mb disk, you've enabled overburn, and that you've updated the drivers...be careful to include your exact CD Rewriter model
2) Make sure the disks aren't mislabelled, or you've got a dodgy 800mb disk...
3) Make sure the firmware update worked...

I'll try contacing them.

Thanks a lot for the help !!

make sure overburning is turned on, the limit from 80min is set to +-92min and you have a cd-burner that can support this special format. (upgrade your firmware if possible)
