Hi. I have an NEC ND-1300A burner firmware 1.0b (tried 1.08 too) and Sony DVD+RW 1x-4x media. Tried burning and the first one worked, but not without saying it failed in Nero right after the formatting stage. But, a subsequent try worked. But, now, every dvd basically fails after the formatting stage in Nero 6, and then it seems like no program even detects a dvd is in the drive (nero, dvd identifier, etc.). Any ideas?
Is this a brand new burner and this is the first time you tried to burn a DVD or have you been burning and now this problem cropped up? What are you trying to burn? Your pc won't recognize a store bought DVD in the drive thru any program? Sounds like your drive is going south. if it's new, return it; if not, replace it. Lots of cheap good drives on net.
