How to Enable the Simulation Option in Nero

Enable the simulation option in Nero before actually burning a disc.

Nero Burning ROM is an application for burning CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP. You might be uncertain about how long it will take to burn a disc or how your optical drive will perform during a burn. If you want to test how a burn will go without actually recording to a blank disc, you can enable the "Simulation" option. That way, if there is a problem, you won't waste a disc that might burn improperly.

Instructions

1. Double-click the icon of the Nero Burning ROM application to launch it.

2. Click the "Recorder" drop-down menu to pick which burner you want to use.

3. Insert a blank disc into your computer's optical drive.

4. Click on the "New Compilation" icon to start a burn process.

5. Click on the icon for the burning method you want to use, such as "Data Burning."

6. Click on the "Add" button to select files you want to burn to a data disc.

7. Click on the "Burn" tab.

8. Click the "Simulation" checkbox in the "Burn Tab."

9. Click the "Burn Now" button. Nero then starts simulating a burn. If you are pleased with the results and want to actually burn a disc, uncheck the "Simulation" checkbox in the "Burn Tab" and click the "Burn" button.
