Hello brothers and sisters, Right...let me get straight to the point. I think I have made enough Mitsubitshi DVD-R coasters for my neighborhood tonight. So I have to admit I can't solve these Nero problems myself. I use a NEC ND-3530A DVD-RW writer (firmware version 3.01), running WinXP, using Nero 6.6.0.18. Here is my problem log sheet: =========================== Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=1.0.0.0, size=21504 bytes, created 8/4/2003 0:39:24 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\PROGRA~1\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 18:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A> Version: 3.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <Generic DVD-ROM >Version: 1.0 - HA 2 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <d347prt> HA 2 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : IC35L040AVVA07-0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A D: CDRom0 Generic DVD-ROM G: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 637MB (653300kB) Free physical memory: 281MB (287744kB) Memory in use : 55 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 17.7.2008 ISO compilation 1:19:31 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : TRUE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 2 (Max. of 31 chars) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 1:19:31 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 1:19:31 #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A running 1:19:31 #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 1:19:32 #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 1:19:32 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2287279 (508:17.04, 4467MB) 1:19:32 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD DVD) 1:19:32 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: MCC 03 - RG20 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 1:19:32 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 1:19:32 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2287280 (2287280) = #2287280/508:17.5 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2287280 blocks [_NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 1:19:32 #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [_NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

But this "Burn Process Failed at 8X" is really getting on my nerve, as I have changed the burn speed to 6x already. Can anyone help me on this? Please? Many Thanks! Michael
maybe try an even slower speed or maybe nero 6 has bugs. ive never used nero 6 so i wouldnt kno but i dont have any problems with nero 7
hi check and update your firmware from here http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/FIRMWARE/Nec/index3.shtml DMA should be on (if one is down it can drag the other down) your burning a tad close to the edge of the disc where the dye is sometimes uneven/missing. set your DVD target at 4360 this is a burn error if after the firmware and DMA..no luck. check that your burner is ok. blow out the dust..use a cleaner to give the lazer a clean not a lot wrong with your media (Verbatim) with these 8x burn speed should be ok
Thanks! I have checked the DMA and they are all turned on. I even followed the steps in http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070626084150AAjQoc9 and double-confirm both devices on Primary and Secondary IDE Channels are "DMA if Available". So I don't know why Nero thinks it's off. The firmware I have is 3.01, so I think it's more updated than 1.04c, right? Moreover, when I tried to flash it with 1.04c, the system says "Target NEC ND-3530A is not found correctly". Thanks in advance once again! Michael
This error TA-Status 0x02 (0x01, SCSI_TASTATUS_CHKCOND) Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR) Is usually 9/10 poor disk quality are they verbatim? Even if they are don’t take it as gospel that it’s not a problem with the disk’s I had a pack of 25 some years ago of verbatim only 2 of the 25 was any good
