Nero (or NEC 1100) not working

[waqti]

I have been using the burner for over two months now, with no problems. Burner and Hard Drive (7200) are both on the same IDE card.

I use "genuine" Nero 5.5, which came with the burner. I also bought Nero 6 (genuine) many weeks ago, but it was not intuitive, so instead of figuring it out (too busy), un-installed it, and have been using 5.5 with no problems.

I make images first for my DVD (movie) back-ups, then burn. For PS2, I couldn't figure out how to do this, either with Nero or RecordNow Max, so I have been using RNM for disc-at-once. I was under the impression that it DID make an image, then burned, then erased the image. I have not tested any PS2 backups yet, because my console is not modded yet.

Nero is now giving me a full 100% in the top wide strip, and nothing in the bottom short strip, which leads me to believe there might be a buffer problem. Also, when I say RNM is working fine, maybe it never uses the buffers in the first place.

Any help?
