I have Nero on one system but haven't tried it. I just built a couple of systems and added CD-R/RW to them. Each was different to see what they did. The only one I haven't tried is Nero. There is no question in my mind that Adaptec's software was much more straight foreward than the other burners. The other's all had the logic but you really had to hunt to figure out what to do. EZ-CD Creator has a tendancy to hang on my system after burning two or three CD's. None of the others do that. > > I did use 3.5c for a while, but I can't see any point in directing someone > to an application > known to have potentially serious "features" when there is a readily > available version that doesn't appear to have problems. I agree. The only reason I mentioned 3.5c is that there are high odds that a number of people have a 3.5b version that came with their older HP-CD-R/RW. They don't need to upgrade to Roxio's 5.0, which just hit the markets, to burn an iso on Windows. They do have to have the latest version.
