Please help! I've been burning for a few months using I Copy DVDs 2 with no problems. I tried copying Spiderman 2...everything read fine but it spit the blank disc out and said write error. Here's what I've tried so far: Deleted Interactual Player Defrag Disc Clean up System restore (to a date I was able to burn) Uninstall and reinstall DVD writer Download Nero and DVD shrink--same problem, but with the following information: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 12/9/2004 8:37:19 AM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 5:35:34 PM Nero API version: 6.6.0.3 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Recorder: <TDK DVDRW0404N> Version: 1.08 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.0.3 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3200822A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY CD-RW CRX216E atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TDK DVDRW0404N atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === SONY CD-RW CRX216E D: CDRom0 TDK DVDRW0404N E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 510MB (523244kB) Free physical memory: 203MB (208028kB) Memory in use : 60 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 15.12.2004 NeroAPI 10:25:18 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files reallocation started 10:25:18 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 10:25:18 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files sorted 10:25:18 PM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 10:25:18 PM #5 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer TDK DVDRW0404N running 10:25:18 PM #6 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 842 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 10:25:19 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:25:19 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:25:19 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3151 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 10:27:32 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 256 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2286025 (508:00.25, 4464MB) 10:27:32 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 268 Write in overburning mode: NO 10:27:32 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2309 Recorder: TDK DVDRW0404N, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: TTG02 - Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 10:27:32 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 430 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

If you can figure it out and you're ever in Santa Cruz, I owe you a drink.
DMA: Off is a problem Remove your IDE channels from the list in device manager and re-boot, they should reinstall with DMA on. The secondary IDE channel is probably the one your TDK is on.
