Hi. I've done a lot of reading into the "Illegal Disc" sticky threads and have tried a number of things to fix the problem. I have even the same burner as one of the posters (NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A). I have tried updating Nero....it was doing this problem at version 6 and i've since updated it to 7.2.0.3 (which may have been a mistake). My firmware is also updated to 2.18. I've tried reducing the writing speed and tried a simulation but still receive the same error. I'm sorry....I know there are two verrrrrrry long threads about this error but theyre closed and I need to burn a presentation disc by tomorrow for this internship thing I'm applying to. So that leaves me 24 hours to figure out how to burn this .iso I have. Right now I'm using a demo version of Nero 7. Here's my log (thank you for any help): Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.2.0.3 Internal Version: 7, 2, 0, 3 Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A> Version: 2.18 - HA 1 TA 4 - 7.2.0.3 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Nero API version: 7.2.0.3 and 7.2.0.3b These latest versions of Nero are full of bugs, I recommend you uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install 7.0.8.2 a more stable version from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845 You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero , run this zapper to remove http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
I've actually reverted to a more stable version of Nero 6 since and have solved it through other means....I used different media! Apparently the Memorex DVD-R that I got (50-pak for $15 is often too good to be true) was causing the error. I bought some Sony DVD+Rs and it worked. Got a quick question though...is there a way to have Roxio and Nero coexist without any clashing? or is getting rid of Roxio the only way? I only ask because I use Roxio sometimes for DVD menu creation. Thanks a lot for your help
Yes it is possible to have both Roxio and Nero installed. I have had both for over 3 years. Just make sure you don't install In CD by Nero and never have the programs opened together. I have Nero 6.6.0.18 and Roxio 7 Creator and have no issues between the two. Nero by far is the best for DVDs but Roxio for me is better with CDs and audio editting.
I have heard that it is the Drag-to-Disk from Roxio and the InCD from Nero that clash. I do have both Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 and Nero 6.6.0.18 installed (less the Drag and InCD) and they seem to be fine.
