Hello, I am trying to burn some data disc DVD-R's and I am getting the illegal disc error. I have checked the sticky thread and most of the fixes don't see, to work. I was using Imitation dvd-r and I went through a hundred with no problem, and apparently they suck as a media. Now I bought a stack of 100 Sony, which apparently are good and I keep getting this illegal disc error. The files I am trying to burn are no different, I also changed to nero version .18 which everyone suggests and I am still getting error at the same place. Could some one please look at my error log and help. Many Thanks, Jason Jason Smith 1A20-0218-0000-1286-xxxx-xxxx* Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e (Nero Express) Recorder: <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S>Version: BS0C - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S>Version: BS0C - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD800BB-00DKA0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 40 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON CD-RW SOHR-5238S atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S E: CDRom0 LITE-ON CD-RW SOHR-5238S F: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 70254592 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 479MB (490992kB) Free physical memory: 118MB (121100kB) Memory in use : 75 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 28.10.2006 ISO compilation 8:32:03 AM #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 8:32:04 AM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 8:32:04 AM #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S running 8:32:04 AM #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 8:32:04 AM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 8:32:04 AM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2100159 (466:42.09, 4101MB) 8:32:04 AM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 8:32:04 AM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: SONY16 - D1 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 8:32:04 AM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 8:32:04 AM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2100160 (2100160) = #2100160/466:42.10 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2100160 blocks [LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S] -------------------------------------------------------------- 8:32:05 AM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Have you checked for the latest firmware? I also found a lot of information about the drive and installation at the site below. http://www.atruereview.com/dvd_burner/liteon.php
Edit out your serial number Update firmware to BSOY from here http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SOHW-1633S/firmware/DR16BS0Y.zip You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
