I keep getting an illegal disc or burn failed error everytime I try to burn a dvd-r. I've been using Memorex DVD-R discs if that helps. Here's a log of a failed birn: Windows 2000 5.0 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 9:35:32 AM Nero Version: 6.6.0.14 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 14d (Nero Express) Recorder: <PLEXTOR DVDR PX-740A> Version: 1.01 - HA 2 TA 0 - 6.6.0.14 Adapter driver: <> HA 2 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Thanks for any help
Your using almost all your memory, you need at least 512meg Ram to burn so I would suggest adding another 256meg. In the meantime shut down all unnecessary progs You have Roxio installed, it conflicts with Nero. These need to be on , go here for guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Your choice of memorex discs, possibly the worst you can choose, try some Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden I would also update Nero from here http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe Your firmware is one version behind, update from here http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2095
