I have CD writer Asus and Nero burning programme.
I want to use CDRW and wish to use as like floppy disk
When ever I write through Incd it burns and cannot write again. With nero transferring data I am facing the same problem.
How can I use CDRW as I like floppy ?
Please reply sooner possible

First off InCD became Nero. Second Nero only burns once and that is it, thus making it a CDROM, not a rewriteable disc, therefore it can not be used as a floppy.
I had the same problem. Now if you still have the InCd, which let you have cdrw capabilities, just use that software.
I also noticed you have three software programs that Burn CD's, a dangerous combination. Try to pick one and uninstall the rest before you have conflicts and can't use the CDRW drive at all.
And lets all ask ourselves why do we have a CDRW, but the software will not let us reuse the cd over again, useful for backups? We should all cry Foul@ :-[

That's funny, I had Nero, ECDC 5, DirectCD, and Clone CD all on the same computer for months and never had a problem with any of them.

gautam73, hi, if you still having problem and would still like to use Ahead's InCD software to drag and drop your CDRW disk like a big floppy, try Ahead's Support section at http://www.nero.com/us/631931457601521.html. The Support section shows you a lot of things you can do to get your CDRW disk to erase and burn again using the CDRW disk. However, it's best not to use InCD & Nero-Rom at the same time. Nero-ROM won't let you do it. Personally, I don't use InCD to format a rewritable cd disk; it just takes too long, up to 50 minutes or so. If you want to format faster, use the quick option in the "Recorder" menu listed at the top of NERO-ROM when you open it. Now, if you want to recover something you just accidentally erase from your CDRW disk, you can try BadCopy Pro at http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/udf_recovery.asp.

And Dr._Ephemeron, you're right, there is nothing wrong with having more than 1 cd-burner software on the same PC. I have 6 different ones on 1 single PC , and I don't have a problem, either, for the past 3 years. The problem has to with InCD and Nero-Rom. They just don't work together. 8)
