swan36kf Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi all,I have had Nero for years as OEM that came with my first burner, which I wore out, having made hundreds of mostly music CDRs with Nero. I gather that the OEM discs are encoded with the hardware device they were bundled with, so I just bought a new burner with another Nero OEM. So, I can continue with what I'm used to as long as this burner lasts. However, I'm ready to just buy a full version of Nero and plan to load either the Micro or Lite version with my new serial number. I have contemplated hunting down a used retail copy of Nero 6.6.1.5, but now favor buying a retail copy of either Nero 7 or Nero 8. Nero 7 can still be found, but I just found Nero 8 for a fantastic price. http://shop1.outpost.com/product/5359518?s...CH:MAIN_RSLT_PGSo, I'm asking for advice: should I buy 7 or 8? Does my system weigh into the question very much? I have a PC with a Cyrix processor thats 733mHz to 1GB, I have 335MB of RAM, and a 80GB hard drive, and I'm running Windows XP Pro 86. I have a Sony CRX230AE/U 52X/32X/52X ATAPI EIDE CD-RW Drive for my burner. So yeah, I would need to move the files on the DVD onto a large flash drive for my installation. And I intend on running Nero Lite or Micro, not the whole bloatware. So, does this help in determining whether to buy Nero 7 or Nero 8?Thanks!!

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would say you shouldnt buy either. Nothing against Nero. Its good stuff but I use free software whenever possible.http://www.imgburn.com/ for data CDshttp://www.burrrn.net/ for audio CDshttp://www.daemon-tools.cc/ instead of Nero ImageDrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDamm Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 ImgBurn is a brilliant app, and free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhatcc Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 agreed. Nero is nice application, but free is always good. I have a Nero 7.5 that doesnt require a key but its not cracked either, its a legit copy thats bundled software that we use here at work. I'll post a download link in a few i just got to get it up online somewhere to download. Its around 450-550mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 For the record, newish versions of the excellent IMGBURN do burn Audio CD as well:http://www.imgburn.com/so that would be everithing a normal user needs.For a Virtual Drive, besides FILEDISK:http://www.winimage.com/misc/filedisk64.htmand IMDISK:http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.htmlhttp://www.boot-land.net/forums/?showforum=59I normally use this one:http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
