Nero Express working (pretending to burn dvd) forever

Hello,
I do not know whether it is known problem.
In my VPC guest (Windows XP) I have just installed Nero Express and try to
burn dvd.
It is already in "burning proces" for almost 2hrs and the progress bar is
still at 0%.
This is my second try. The first try lasted 1 hour, I interrupred it and
restarted VPC.
What can be wrong?
Thanks,
Kathy

VPC doesn't emulate a CDR drive, it emulates a CD read only drive, so
you can't burn a CD inside a VM.

Virtual PC does not support burning of CD's or DVD's. Regardless of the physical
hardware, the guest sees only a DVD-ROM.

If you don't need a real DVD media, but just want to put some data to an
ISO image file, I highly recommend <http://www.virtualcd-online.com/>.

I often use it to "burn" the latest Acronis rescue media for my
multi-boot recovery CD w/o installing the complete Acronis product to my
host OS.
