I have used this burner now to burn at least 40 ISOs on DVDs, but now everytime I try to burn something with it it always causes an error in nero or in any other program i would use to burn something. Could any help me by telling me what the problem is. Here's the log file from nero 7: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.1.4 Internal Version: 7, 0, 1, 4 Recorder: < 16X16 DVD DUAL> Version: 1020 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.0.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

hi... from what i can see here in your log are these... 62% usage.... never multi-task while encoding or burning, free up more memory and dont run any applications while doing the above. your burning too far... (too close to the edge) drop it down to like 4300mb-4360mb) well, thats not the culprit.. on the other hand... perhaps the burner does not like the -r format i cannot locate a firmware revision for your burner at all... try and fix some of the above and see what happens.. let me try to get a hold of some other members in here who have far more knowledge then me on nero logs..
Well I used a DVD+RW this time. I tried burning something smaller and I closed down as many programs as I could before the burning started. But I still got an error. I was wondering if maybe the burner I bought might just be low quality?
