I'm running Nero 5.5.9.14 on a Windows 2000 machine and when I try to
copy a certain custom-burned disk that was loaned to me, Nero locks up
at the end of the read process (before starting the burn or even asking
for an empty disk). This disk has 87 tracks and is written with CD Text.
It's because of the CD Text that I don't want to just copy all 87 .cda
tracks to my HD and burn a CD. That CD wouldn't contain CD Text, so I
want to make an exact copy, which would preserve the CD Text - I need
the titles.

A couple of other such disks don't give me that problem. Is there
anything else I can try?

Thanks for any help.

The lockup happens at the end of the Analyzing CD sequence and it says
Scanning Subcode for Indices, 100%. It just hangs there. I tried copy on
the fly and it does the same thing.

I do have another reader, but it's slower. The one I'm having trouble
with is a Liteon 48 12 48. The other is a 24 10 40, and it's in my other
box. I'll give it a try and see what happens. These lockups necessitate
a reboot of Win2000.
