I'm trying to burn a DVD+RW disc. it's a Maxell disc. In the beginning error appear and it says "illegal disc". Second problem is when I'm burning normal DVD+R discs. Burn process is failing at 100%. Here is the log for the "illegal disc" -error: 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 26.10.2004 18:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.16 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B>Version: A105 - HA 2 TA 1 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <> HA 2 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

not an expert on this but i have learned some things. This is what i think you need to do: you should have DMA on if they are not virtual drives. heres a guide on how to turn it on: http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/checking DMA.pdf i believe the latest version of your firmware is A106. you can get it here: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1973 i think that nero version 6.6.0.18 is a better less buggy version. Uninstall yours and install that 1. you can get it here (both): http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe package 2: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe 512 MB ram is the least you can have for burning DVDs. &0% mem in use i guess is a little high just try not to multitask or anything while burning. edit: changed link for new version of Nero
@munkhead Just to add to Xevlys good advice. Here's some suggestions: Looks like you have Nvidia controllers - so Nero may not report your DMA mode correctly. The guide Xevlys listed will give you an idea of where to check and make sure you are in DMA mode. Do a full erase (not quick) on the +RW disc. If that still fails try a 'fresh' +RW disc Nero's InCD and Roxio don't always play well together. If you not using InCD you may want to uninstall it and run the clean: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/us/InCD_CleanTool.html Same thing for Roxio - here's the clean tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml Now for the +R disc's that fail at 100% - if the firmware update doesn't help - post one of those logs too.
