I am running Nero 7 and for some reason I can't burn an ISO to DVD. I have tried a few different ISO files and all end in an error. I have even tried other programs like Image Burn and still I get errors. Just wondering if maybe there is a problem with my Sony RW DVD drive. Here is the log file from the last ISO I tried to burn with Nero, maybe someone can tell me what the problem is: Code: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.2.3.2 Internal Version: 7, 2, 3, 2 Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DW-U10A> Version: 1.1d - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.2.3.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 8192kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Consider switching media.Try Verbatim. Recorder There is firmware 1.1e here. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1504
Thanks for the tip, I have been trying to find new firmware for my drive, but with no success. When I goto the link you posted, there seems to be nowhere to actually download the firmware from? When I click on the 1.1e link it takes me to some Japanese site. Does anyone have a direct link to where I can download the latest firmware for my Sony DW-U10A DVD drive?
Well I was finally able to download the firmware, though when I try and run the installer, it says that no updatable drive exists? Can anyone confirm that my burning issue may actually be a firmware problem? I never used to have problems burning DVDs just lately over the past 6 months or so. I was even using the same blank DVD media before and had no problems?
