Remove your Nero Serial Number. It begins with: 1C82 You need to turn DMA on. Check out Alkohols guide here: http://my.afterdawn.com/alkohol/blog_entry.cfm/231/dmaissues I suspect you have Nero set to create a CD instead of the DVD that was in your drive. Your version of Nero is old. You may want to update it to 7.0.8.2. It's a stable version.
