Hi all, I'm having terrible bother getting Nero 7 to burn dual layer discs. I'm only trying to burn about 7GB of data, nothing fancy such as DVD copies or the like. It won't even start the burning process. I'm using Aone 8X DVD+R Dual Layer discs on an LG GSA-4160B internal burner. Here's the Nero log, I'd be grateful if some kind person could cast their eye over it: n/a n/a Windows 2000 5.0 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 13:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.5.1.1 Internal Version: 7, 5, 1, 1 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B>Version: A306 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.5.1.1 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

I tried this version, too many errors. Uninstall, run this clean tool, http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install 7.5.9.0 from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?1881 You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
Oh well, none of that worked unfortunately. I appreciate the discs are maybe not the best but 1 in 10 should work surely? Anyhow, here's my latest Nero error log for perusal, any and all help much appreciated: Windows 2000 5.0 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 12:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.5.9.0 Internal Version: 7, 5, 9, 0 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B>Version: A306 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.5.9.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Now down load ImgBurn and try to do your DLs with it. It's all I ever use to burn DLs. Nero's not the best at handling DLs.
