Nero is a fan­tas­tic piece of soft­ware. It is sorely missed. RIP, bun­dled CD burner. (Iron­i­cally, the only burner I have that was ever ‘new’ in my pos­ses­sion was also the first to give up the ghost on CD burn­ing). Bizarrely, it still works for DVDs just fine. Not a driver/OS-level thing. It’ll boot off a DVD, but not a CD. I think it’s a Sony, but that surely doesn’t mean much in this twisted world of re-/OEM-branded hard­ware. The thing that killed it was prob­a­bly another Sony prod­uct that didn’t fol­low the real CD spec :P
