Help with Nero 7.0.1.4

Hi, I'm having problems burning files with Nero 7.0.1.4. I have two burners (as you will see in the log below). I can burn fine with the Plextor PX-708A but not with the Plextor Premium.

I used the Nero Info Tool and discovered that my ASPI was corrupt, so I used FORCEASPI to fix that. Then, somehow my Primary IDE Channel was using PIO mode instead of DMA, so I fixed that as well.

Unfortunately, Nero still won't burn to my Plextor Premium. I get unspecified burner error along with Cannot Perform Endtrack errors.

I have also tried two different types of media - Sony and Memorex CD-R. The Plextor Premium has the latest (1.08) firmware installed.

One interesting note. Before fixing the DMA issue, Nero would fail during the simulation stage. After turning DMA on, Nero performed the simulation fine but failed during the write stage.

It is not a hardware issue because I have been able to successfully burn discs on that drive using Deep Burner (which I have now uninstalled).

I have uninstalled Nero, restared, manually cleaned out any nero registry entries, run killaspi and restarted, run instaspi and restarted and then reinstalled nero and restarted.

Here is the Nero Log file. Any suggestions are appreciated. I cannot think of anything else to try.
