Hi Alodderh Welcome to aD! Here's some suggestions: Update your Nero to 6.6.0.18. Here's some links: Package 1 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 (recode & vision) http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe One version behind - update to the latest - 2.18 http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1837 Turn the DMA mode back on for this drive. Here's guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Turn the booktyping off - only +r discs can be booktyped. Try that and see how it goes. editted to add: Anything change in the last month since you were able to burn?
