Hey everyone. I've read the other threads and tried some of the things on them, but they haven't helped. =( I'm using an OEM FujitsuSiemens NEC-burner. I've tried updating the firmware which seems to be up to date, but I still get the error. The discs I'm using are regular DVD-r discs from Maxell. This is what the log said last time I tried: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 2004-11-02 12:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 6.6.1.4 Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d (Nero Express) Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A> Version: 2.96 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

That is not the latest firmware for your drive you need this one 2.F9 Not very good media to begin with either.
ok, tried downloading the other firmware. I get a prompt saying: "Target NEC ND-2510A is not found correctly." =S I also tried restarting Windows in safe-mode, but with no luck. Could it be that I need to do some kinda pre-installation of some older driver perhaps?
I managed to install the new firmware but still get the Illegal disc error.

Nero 6.6.1.4 This version of Nero contains some bugs, uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and then install this more stable version, BOTH packages Package 1: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
I re-installed with the other version, but still no luck. I ended up buying new media. FujiFilm this time, and it works perfectly. Kinda remarkable that such a well-known brand as Maxell can't make proper DVD-R's... Thanks for all the help though.
