Strange one this so bear with the whole story. Great Nero fan user on two systems. Desktop 6 reloaded not upgraded to 6.6.1.4 never had an issue ever. New Alienware M5500 with slimtype DVDRW SOSW-833S CD/DVD burner earlier this year. Used pre installed nero 6 without updating (OS XP prof sp2) with no issues until the failure rate started to rise with both burn and verification read errors (real ones with the discs being unreadable) Updated to 6.6.1.4 no better so recieved new rewriter (same spec). All was well using this for several months using nero express to burn audio CD and nero rom to create data DVD and Video DVD. Not a failure ! Using Ritek x4/x8 GO4/5 DVD and TY CD media. Always burning at x4 (although other speeds were OK I prefer to burn media files slowly) Suddenly 5 days ago mid disc I got a burn fail error message and the DVD/CD rewriter would not burn or play ANY disc. Simple answer hardware failure and within 48 hours I had a replacement which I installed. All play back fine. All nero express CD burning fine but I cannot get Nero rom to burn a data or video dvd without read errors on verification(and the discs fail to read when checked) I have uninstalled nero 6 and reinstalled nero 6 reloaded (from OEM disc) upgraded to 6.6.1.4 and added mega plugin pack as before. No joy. There have been no software changes. Burning a data dvd with AVS led to error messages on burn. So do I try pre 6.6.1.4 nero OR is this another hardware issue (doubtful) Oh I have checked and DMA enabled.

Hello. Personally I wouldn't use version 6.6.1.4. It has some problems and I think Nero has abandoned it since Nero 7 has hit the scene. Most of us around here that use Nero 6, use version 6.6.0.18. The Nero 6 Clean Tool (run it first) and Nero 6.6.0.18 can be found here: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/us/Nero_6_CleanTool.html Pack 1: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Pack 2: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe Have tried burning an ISO with DVD Decrypter or ImgBurn? Try that. That'll let us know if the problem rests with Nero or somewhere else. ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com DVD Decrypter: http://filehippo.com/download_dvd_decrypter/ Lastly, I ordinarily don't get very upset with verification errors. You see a lot of them. The test is whether the disks are readable in a player and play correctly. If they don't, you've got a major problem. Some drives are not especially good readers and often the media makes a big difference. Lappy burners are, on the whole, neither very robust burners or readers. As you can see from this thread, many have had problems with this burner. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/280367
Thanks Used 6.6.0.18 as you advised. Still failed verification but disc seems OK. Why now ?? Will try other burning software and report back.
