Saving floppies to a CD-RW

[Zane T.]

I installed Windows XP no too long ago and I'm still
learning it's differences from 98SE. I'm trying to save
all my old floppies to a CD-RW using Ahead Nero and InCD
with a Yamaha CD burner. I went to the Nero website and
they recommended deleting Media Player and re-installing
it without the adaptec drivers. That didn't work. I've
also done everything else that they recommended to no
avail. I've also downloaded the most recent firmware
updates for my recorder. I haven't been able to update my
Nero software because the file is too big and I keep
losing my internet connection. If anyone can offer some
advice it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks "Z"

What problem were you getting that resulted in Nero telling you this?
