9.2337: Cannot create rescue disk on CD-R

Installed 9.2337 yesterday.

Could not create a rescue disk with CD-R media.
I was able to create rescue media a few months ago using the demo for 9.2323.

With 9.2337, I immediately get an error from TI stating that it cannot burn the CD-R/RW, or something like that.

If I Exit Roxio's DRag to Disc BEFORE running TI, the process of burning attempts to start, then gives the same/similar error.

As far as I know, the version of Roxio software is the same as it was a few months ago.

Apparently, 9.2337 and Roxio EMC 7.1.1.189 do not play nice together.
9.2323 did not have this problem, so the finger (choose which) must point to TI for a fix.

 

Depending on the User's setup, Roxio's Drag-to-Disk can cause problems with rescue CD creation for all Versions and Builds of True Image. See this <previous reply> for possible workarounds (may need to use in combination).

Ayup, I'm familiar with those types of problems.

Last night, I exited Drag to Disk and was then able to create rescue media using CD-RW media, but still could not do so using CD-R media.

I'll try the drawer open trick and see if that helps, be right back ...
As we speak, the CD-R is being written, so the door open trick worked.

P.S. When I woke up this morning, I realized that when I used the demo of 2323 to create rescue media, I had installed TI on a different OS on my multiboot PC, and that OS has Nero/ICD instead of Roxio.

 

Odd that you can get it to work on CD-RW but not on CD-R. But why not then make a whole disk copy of the CD-RW on a CD-R.

 

Once Drag to Disc is exited, then there's nothing to interfere with CD-RW.
CD-R is differently handled.

I did do this, and mentioned it in another thread.
