Your burner firmware is pretty old. Update for it is here http://support.necsam.com/oem/downloads/flashfirmware/fw/NECND350_v21A.exe Your nero 7 is also old but many are having problems with the newest 7.0.5.4 so you may want to hold off updating it or get the prior update which is 7.0.1.4b. If you want the 7.0.1.4b it is here ftp://ftp.us.nero.com/software/nero7/Nero-7.0.1.4b_eng_no_yt.exe
thanks ive downloaded the burner firmware you suggested. The 7.0.1.4b update link doesnt work however, does this still exist for download? I couldnt see it on google. Thanks again. Fingers crossed this helps..failing that ill try the latest update.
That ftp link brings up the download for me here. I just copy and paste it in link bar in brawser and hit enter then the download started. I downloaded it to be sure. It is still there.
