    I have Nero 6 and everything worked fine before i updated my drive. I just updated so that it can be more compatible and less likely to have failed disk writes. This is my first time updating it. I got the update from the manufacturers website: http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=153.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this? I think once I have updated it i cant make it go back to the previous firmware? I just bought a 50 pack dvd-r and really want to fix this so that i can burn again. thanks.

    The error shows right after caching, it doesn't even start burning. Here's the log:

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but

    these are horrible discs and more than likely will be the cause of the error....you may find a few good ones in the spindle of 50 you have but then on the other hand you may be lucky and find quite a few good ones....they are very hit and miss.

    Oh that one was the HP DVD-R, I also tried Verbatim DVD-R MIT and the error still comes up. I dont think its the dvd-r disks that causing it. i think the firmware messed it up but i dont know how to fix it.

    Set you burner drive as a master instead of a slave.

    If it doesn't fix it, go back to an older firmware.

    I put it on master but it still says the same illegal disk error. How do I go back to an older firmware? Here's the log after putting it on masters and using Verbatim DVD-R:
