I am also afflicted with illegal disc issue I am not able to solve, although I have tried the many suggestions from this forum. Problem started with TDK -R 16x discs, although I did successfully burn onto some of them. I have tried at all supported copy speeds though without success recently. I have updated firmware and seem to have latest Nero version. I uninstalled and reinstalled the dvd drive as well. I have also gotten illegal disc errors using DVD Clone. So I decided to try different discs, so I tried burning at 4x with Taiyo Yuden 8x discs -- same issue. Here is the log. THANKS GREATLY FOR ANY ADVICE!

@calatberk Welcome to aD! You may want to go back a version in Nero to 6.6.0.18. Uninstall your current version (make sure you have your serial # written down) run the nero clean tool and install 6.6.0.18. Here's the clean tool link and a ftp site for 6.6.0.18: ftp://ftp.us.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/enu/Nero_6_CleanTool.html Free up some memory. No multi tasking and shut down any unnecesary processes. Run a system defrag and disc clean up if your haven't recently. It's usually recommended that your hard drive be on the primary port (0) and cd/dvd drives on the secondary (1) It's saying the drive isn't ready. Make sure your connections are secure and each drive is on a separate power supply. Let us know how it goes - good,bad or otherwise!
