Make sure the "write" button is selected For "Write Method" select either Disc-at-Once, or Disc-at-Once/96 Choose a writing speed between 12x and 24x for optimum quality results Click the button marked "Write"

Don't Panic, It is normal for 90min and 99min CD-Rs to not be recognized properly Take a deep breath Click on the "Write Overburn CD" button Exhale and relax

Close Nero, and enjoy your new CD-R I recommend running Nero CD Speed (found in the Nero Tool Kit) to make sure your files are secure

*note: some drives are not capable of burning up to 99min onto a CD, if you have any doubts as to whether or not your drive is compatible, feel free to contact me!

**note: This guide assumes you are attempting to burn a certified 99min CD-R. If you are attempting to burn 99min worth of data onto a standard 80min CD-R it will almost certainly fail!
