Could someone please look at this log and poinit oout the relevent places to look for failure reasons. I'm kind of a newbie and just don't get it. Thanks so much...

DMA should be on for all drives...here is a guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 You are attempting to burn too close to the edge of the disc, reduce your target size in DVD Shrink or Recode to 4300.
I was looking, and all the drives that are listed as 'DMA: Off' are either 1st gen SATA or on an Ultra ATA controller card.

Looking in the device manager, I only see DMA settings for IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. The SATA AHCI controller and Ultra ATA Storage Controller don't have any mention of DMA. Is there somewhere else I can go to turn on DMA on SATA controllers?
I am not good at these logs, but is the following line normal or indicate a problem. 7:40:01 AM #21 CDR -1114 File Writer.cpp, Line 311 Reset occurred
I'm not sure on the DMA for SATA drives, but if your data is coming off the WD4000KS which has the DMA enabled , you should be OK.
[bold] Solution: If you do a search on SCSI Command Errors, you will find that many others have had the same issue as yours with USB Recorders, regardless of the software used. Meaning, it occurs with Nero, CD Creator, RecordNow, etc. And the error message varies from SCSI Command Error, Bus Rest, etc... In most cases, users have found that updating the drivers for the USB Controller resolves the issue. Other found a new External Chassis for the Recorder resolved the issue. And we provided a work around in our MMC.DLL file that causes our software to reissue the command till the recorder is free and accpets, instead of timing out so soon after a lack of response from the device. This resolved the issue for some, but not for others. This MMC.DLL file is part of Nero 6.6.0.3 and above builds. Try to disconnected all USB devices except for the external DVD burner. As a last resort, after trying the above solutions and others, they finally connect as an internal to the system and all issues are resolved.
Thanks guys for the advice. Gwendolin, thank you for the in-depth solution, but none of my drives are USB, so either you have misunderstood my problem, or I am misunderstanding your solution. My Hard drive setup is as follows: Attached to Motherboard SATA: DiskPeripheral : WDC WD4000KS-00MNB0 iaStor Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST3200822AS iaStor Port 0 ID 1 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : HDS722512VLSA80 iaStor Port 0 ID 2 DMA: Off Attached to Motherboard IDE: CdRomPeripheral : PLEXTOR DVDR PX-716A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On Attached to IDE ATA133 Controller expansion card: DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y160P0 YAR4 ultra Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y160P0 YAR4 ultra Port 2 ID 1 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y120P0 YAR4 ultra Port 2 ID 2 DMA: Off The data I write from is stored on the ST3200822AS (DMA off) drive. I have been writing succcessfully from that drive since I installed the OS a month or so ago. It has been listed as DMA off during all that time and I assumed this was because it was a 1st gen SATA drive, whereas the WD4000KS listed as DMA on is a newer 2nd gen drive. I had assumed 1st gen drives either didn't support/need DMA, or the BIOS just didn't see them as DMA capable. Ata any rate, you guys are great for helping, and I really appreciate your time.
I just read this from a guy on Microsoft's Technet forum. He was confused by his PC not reporting his SATA drive in DMA so he wrote to Intel tech support asking about it. Below is their reply: [bold]Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support. The PIO, DMA and UDMA concepts are exclusively for IDE ATA/TAPI drives. These terms do not apply for Serial ATA drives. The fastest ATA mode is UDMA 6 (133 MB/s) while the Serial ATA controller can transfer data up to 150 MB/s. Operating systems and other applications may recognize Serial ATA drives as UDMA5/6 for compatibility purposes only. However, this does not reflect the correct transfer rate of your drive. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance."[/bold]
I have two SATA drives which are showing to be in DMA mode and that's the way they came with my Dell, it has Intel Chipset. Using the chipset utility my SATA I/O controller reads IDE mode, so what is that saying then? This is the way the Chipset sw sets it up on installation. And the two SATA drives read DMA on.
Apparently, different chipsets report SATA in different ways. It seems like SATA has been around long enough for everyone to have a standard way of cataloging or reporting them. I suppose we each have to know our motherboards intimately in order to get the most out of them.
