After instaling the New NERO 5.5.x I try to test the Speed of the CD Rom-Device. Afterwards the CD just spins uncontinously, and apears a Mesage like the "Device is not ready, Cannot read" (or somet' like that).
Ist it posible the Speed-Test "broke" my Drive or is it posible there is a "Software-Problem"?

It may be a device driver problem,Open the Control Panel,double-click the System icon,highlight the CD-ROM and click the properties button,click to see if device has any conflicts and also check the Performance tab,see if device has real mode drivers loaded,which could be causing a problem
Also check if their is a yellow exclamation mark on cd-rom or the controller,try reloading the cd-rom and controller drivers,which may need updating

Be sure not to have any cdrom device drivers in autoexec.bat or config.sys.
Also you can remove the cdrom from the device manager reboot and let windows detect again the hardware and loaded the proper drivers FORM THE ORIGINAL CDROM SOFTWARE, not the ones installed into HD, which may be corrupted or modified by your speed test utility.

Hope it helps!!!!

Oftentimes with burning software, you will need to immediately install the updates from the developer's website (in your case www.nero.com). This fixes things like drive incompatibilities and bugs with features. The newest version of Nero is now 5.5.7.2, so check and see if your version matches.
