There's a cable that runs from the drive to the motherboard for internal drives. Sometimes they are labeled like cd/dvd drive. We can leave that alone for now. May not even help. Try the new discs you picked up and we'll go from there.
thnaks binkie7 and importantly Creaky your adivice helped with great difficulty i bought Roxio 8 and reduced toe burning speed to 4 x on the same DVDs it works great thnx guys regards, corleno
@corleno - nice one, pls keep us updated, just in case the problem returns, or in fact to say you're still having success...
hey binkie7, fyi...i started a separate thread for the firmware update issue here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/335303 i will try to get out and get some slower speed discs in the meantime though. thanks again for your help. i'll post back with any results.
@BoxOfEyes I'd still try the ones you just bought. Your drive is recognizing them and the id code. The 1 part where they are not fully recognized in the log is here: Usually the id code is here also. Like this Keep us posted!
hey binkie7, the dvds i bought last night were sony 16x also. i tried about 5 of them and got the illegal disk error on all of them. sorry i didn't make that clear earlier. it sounds like i'm screwed on the 16x until i can get the firmware updated -- don't you think? thanks!
@BoxOfEyes The firmware may help. The readme file though didn't say anything about media though but who knows what all it contains. Looks like LOCOENG found one for you. Try some other media if not. Let's rule out media. Have you also tried another other burning software? @roustie99 Gotcha over in this thread: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/334273#1963626 Still need to edit the email addy.
well, i'm back in the burning business! i found some sony 8x dvds and they have burnt great (so far!). the bad news is i had to drive about a half hour away to find a Best Buy, and paid $78 for a spindle of 100 discs. i guess it's time i get with the online media purchasing. and maybe someday i can get my firmware updated and be able to use 16x dvds. thanks again for all the help, binkie7!
@BoxOfEyes You're welcome! Glad to hear you are back in business. For online buys check out this site: http://supermediastore.com They have great deals on Taiyo Yuden (great media & my personal fav's) and Verbatims. I buy from this site alot! For what you paid they have Taiyo Yuden 8x 200 for around $70! Happy Burning!
Can someone please help me? I just got a new computer and tried to burn a dvd using the same burner I was using before and worked fine. When I tried to burn a dvd with my new computer I keep receiving illegal disc errors. I don't know where to go from here. Any help would be appreciate. Also I have tried three different brands of discs and all get the same illegal disc error.

@afifer Welcome to aD! Here's some suggestions for - step down the Nero a version or 2. Uninstall 7.2.0.3 - run the clean tool - then install version 7.0.8.2. Here's some links: http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845 (version 7.0.8.2) http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html (clean tool) Which version of Nero were you running on the other pc that worked? A bit behind on firmware - current version is BSOY. Update to that version. Here's a link: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1934 Great amount of ram - but you have a lot running. No multi tasking and shut down any unnessacary processes. Try that and let us know how it goes!
