I keep having problems when trying to burn an audio cd. im using nero ultra 7 & when it gets so far through the burning process, it says burn failed. I have just burned 2 audio cd's & a data cd with no problems, but the last 2 failed, so hopefully someone can help. I would appreciate some help here, so i have posted the error log from nero:- THANKS <*.*> 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 NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.1.2 Internal Version: 7, 0, 1, 2 (Nero Express) Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A> Version: 1.04 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.0.1.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

The firmware for your drive appears to be a little out of date. I show version 3.07 from the NEC site, so you might check that. You are also running a very old version of Nero 7. The newest is 7.5.9.0 so you might check into updating that. Make sure to use the clean tools for Nero 7 to remove the old version and then reinstall the newest. Also make sure you have your serial number written down. http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Clean_Tools.html
