I have two hard drives, so I decided to install Windows Media Center on the second drive and run dual boot. That works fine, but all my cd burning fails when using the Windows Media Center. I have a Pioneer DVR-105. I updated the firmware and downloaded the latest aspi and atapi drivers. I have tried Nero and PrimoDVD, both with failures closing the disc. I went back to my Windows XP Home Edition boot and everything works. So I know it is not the media and it is not the drive. Please, what am I missing? I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'd appreciate any help.

- yup, firmware's up to date get DMA bacl ON via this - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm - just checking, did you know you're doing multisession - if DMA doesn't help, try different media (i hear what you're saying about the dual boot / media etc, but without much wrong in the logfile, the list of suspects has to logically point at media, otherwise the more expensive option is the burner.. - see previous comments. it may be worth posting the putput from Nero's info-tool, maybe that'll turn up something..
