I have a Dell XPS 210 which comes with the TSSTcorp TS-L632D DVD-RW. I am able to burn DVDs and erase DVD-RWs with the bundled Roxio software. I can also burn CDs in the normal Windows XP manner. However, if I try to use Nero 6.6.1.4 or 7.5.7.0, I cannot burn DVDs or erase DVD-RWs. The message I receive is "Cannot perform start disc at once". I have also tried reinstalling the OS (Windows Media Center 2005) and not installing the Roxio software, in case the Roxio was interfering with Nero, and the same occurs. I checked I have the latest firmware DE03. Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong here?

DMA needs to be on, heres a guide to turn back on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Try slowing the burn to 4X
My computer uses ACHI so when I look under the IDE controller, there are no "Primary IDE" or "Secondary IDE" channels to change. Does Nero not work well with ACHI? I tried changing the BIOS so that the SATA uses ATA instead of ACHI but this gives me blue screen of death on startup. I had also tried slowing the burning before, and that didn't work. Any other ideas? Thanks!
Hello Stephen i have the same xps 210 and the same drive as you and the same problem although i can burn with nero just fine it won`t play properly on my pioneer dvd player keeps freezing i uninstalled roxio as soon as i got the harddrive as i know it can conflict with nero but i cannot figure out how to sort the DMA as you say it is different on media centre to windows xp so please keep in touch on how you get on and so will i good luck!
I think the problem is the ACHI interface for the SATA drives. I did the following to get it to work: 1. Changed the BIOS setup to use ATA instead of ACHI in the drives section of the setup. 2. Installed Windows XP Pro from a Dell OEM CD that I had. I booted it from CD, deleted and reinstated the C drive partition as part of the install. 3. Installed the Dell drivers from the driver disc provided with the PC 4. Installed Nero Ultra And now it's burning away. I don't know whether this would have worked using the Windows XP media center CD instead ie it's possible that the conflict was with the Media Center software and not the ACHI. However, I could not get XP Pro to install on the PC without disabling ACHI (it would always give me a blue screen on install).
WOW what a lot of work you have done well i would`nt know where to start also i don`t have a windows pro disc any windows disc in fact so i have contacted dell tech support considering it`s a new pc to see what they can do i will let you know how i get on thanks for getting back to me i think i need a miracle LOL!
Hi sorry it took me so long to get back to you but i have been in touch with dell over three to four nights now trying to sort this out about the DMA and apparently they realised that the xps harddrive is so small that the workings are more like a laptop so it does not have DMA it works on poi so i tryed uninstalling software to find conflicts trying different codecs etc and finally i changed to ridata discs and ffdshow codec and no other codecs so they don`t clash as i know that codec packs are not good and it is running perfect and playing lovely in the dvd player no more problems thank goodness so i hope this helps other people as i know how frustrating it can be but i would highly recommend ridata discs i get them from digitalpromo.co.uk
