Re: CD Problem

the simplest solution would be for you to uninstall the old roxio and nero
software from your old pc and install the new sonic software that came with
the new inspiron on it. learning the reason why they are different will
only explain to you why it happens. the above will make the disks
compatible between the two machines going forward and will mean you only
have to learn one user interface.
