Ok, so I am running out of ways to fix my burner. I recently installed Nero 8 to try and see if that program worked any better. The answer was know, but here is the log that keeps occuring. 8K24-0227-1105-EKK5-5000-0023-**** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.2.8.0 Internal Version: 8, 2, 8, 0 Recorder: <HP DVD Writer 740b> Version: HJ24 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.2.8.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default CD-ROM: <AXV CD/DVD-ROM >Version: 2.0B - HA 1 TA 1 - 8.2.8.0 Adapter driver: <SCSI> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3200822AS atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HP DVD Writer 740b atapi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : AXV CD/DVD-ROM 2.0B a348scsi Port 5 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HP DVD Writer 740b E: CdRom0 AXV CD/DVD-ROM J: CdRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1470MB (1505768kB) Free physical memory: 871MB (892232kB) Memory in use : 40 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 19.2.2008 ISO compilation 10:35:09 AM #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 450 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 10:35:09 AM #2 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6655 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : TRUE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 10:35:09 AM #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:35:09 AM #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3502 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 10:35:09 AM #5 Text 0 File FilesystemSettingsValidator.cpp, Line 142 FS Settings: using validator 'CUDFSettingsValidatorDVD' ParamMode = 'automatic', changing UDF partition type from 'physical' to 'physical' Changing UDF revision from '1.02' to '1.02' 10:35:09 AM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 307 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 2220015 (493:20.15, 4335MB) 10:35:09 AM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 319 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 10:35:09 AM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2957 Recorder: HP DVD Writer 740b, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: <CMC MAG>, Media Type ID: <M01>, Product revision number: 0 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 7 10:35:09 AM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 493 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 10:35:09 AM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 762 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2220016 (2220016) = #2220016/493:20.16 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2220016 blocks [E: HP DVD Writer 740b] -------------------------------------------------------------- 10:35:09 AM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 964 Prepare [E: HP DVD Writer 740b] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Hello. The media you're using, manufactured by the low cost supplier CMC Magnetics, isn't helping the cause. I'd go with Verbatim in the future. 16X is too fast a burn speed especially for this media. Try 8X or even 4X with this media and see if that helps. You might also try creating just the ISO image and then burning that image with ImgBurn (free). http://www.imgburn.com
Ok, so tried slowing down. Did that before, but still came up with problems. This last time I was able to burn the disc, but it did not successfully verify and then Nero 8 keeps crashing when it verifies the discs so I wasn't able to get the log. Similar thing happened when i used Sonic, but without the crash. Here is the data from that.

Ok, I've taken your advice Laddyboy and tried making and image and then burning the image using ImgBurn. Unfortunately that has failed as well. I'm about to go Office Space on this stupid burner. Guess I'm just going to have to buy a new one. Here is the ImgBurn log file: I 18:45:37 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

Have you tried actually playing the burned disk. It appeared to burn, it just didn't verify. I've had disks that didn't verify that played back correctly. You could install your burner on another system and see if it works OK there. If not, it likely is time for a new one. I'd also try some better media like Verbatim and see if that works better. CMC Mag media can be a disaster at times. There's a reason why most around here would never recommend using that particular media.
