trying to make a back up copy of my dell Vista ultimate disk which i am

would
think it's a media fault, but no that burns other stuff ok, it might br
DRM
but ultimate allows you to make a back up copy (i made an ISO as well
and
tried that but just the same) so now I'm totally baffled


Fixer, just a wild guess but does it make any difference if you copy
first to a virtual cd? Not really sure this would matter :( but it
would eliminate the problem if it is a drive problem (I think) .

yes but if it was a drive problem then it wouldn't work with a RW disk and
as it does the same on both DVD writers the chances of them both being
faulty with the same fault from different manufacturers is in fitesimal,
personnally i think that its a Nero problem and this damn DRM


Probably right. I hate those kinda problems..... you will have to
eliminate the variables one by one. Check Google with Vista install
problems and ____ (fill in the blank with your dvd writers, then
Nero and version number and then DRM) and see what you might be able
to read. Perhaps someone else has had a similar problem and their
replies might at least if not answer your question, at least eliminate
some of the variables so you can figure it out. Sorry I can't help on
this one much :( .


FWIW:

- I've burned my copies of Vista using Nero Express 6/7 on machines running
both XP Home and Pro SP2.

I've tried nothing outside of that narrow range of OS and versions.
