I have recently be having problems burning with Nero 6 on my Laptop, once i choose my data to burn the DVD_RW goes through all the motions and gets to around 20% and then comes up with Burn Process failed error. Well i have uninstalled Nero and any associted burning tools, eg DVD shrink etc and reinstalled Nero only, i also downloaded all updates from Nero and installed, still no joy, i then used Nero's clean tool and uninstalled all Nero products, still no joy. I have searched for updates for my internal Philips DVD+-RW SDVD8431 but cannot find one. I have changed my media to different types and have tested them on another PC and they work fine, i also disconnected from teh web while burning, didn't make a difference. Please help as i feel like taking a hammer to my laptop, below is the log file from Nero. ichael 1A20-030E-0300-2274-3112-5835 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 16/07/2004 09:24:34 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 18:35:32 Nero Version: 6.6.0.8 (Nero Express) Recorder: <PHILIPS DVD+-RW SDVD8431>Version: LJ41 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.8 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SCSIVAX DVD/CD-ROM >Version: 2.7a - HA 2 TA 0 - 6.6.0.8 Adapter driver: <Vax347s> HA 2 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : TOSHIBA MK6025GAS atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PHILIPS DVD+-RW SDVD8431 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SCSIVAX DVD/CD-ROM 2.7a Vax347s Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === PHILIPS DVD+-RW SDVD8431 D: CDRom0 SCSIVAX DVD/CD-ROM E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 66060288 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 446MB (457200kB) Free physical memory: 120MB (123824kB) Memory in use : 72 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 12.4.2006 Audio CD 16:19:44 #1 CDADOC -1 File Cdadoc.cpp, Line 1465 Audio item log info: Audio document burn settings: ============================= Burn mode: DAO, CD Text: On, Cache disk or network files: No, Cache small files: No, Cache files smaller than 65536 bytes.
