I have DELL Inspiron 6000 and have a new NEC nd-6500a dvd/cd burner. I am using Nero 6.6.0.18 for software. I was able to burn CD discs on this till yesterday. I tried burning data dvd gor first time and was unable to do so. Then i tried to burn data cd which also was showing error. I have pasted below the text log of the error message. I have used MoserBaer DVD-R discs/Sony CD-R discs. Please help me with my issue. Thanks in advance. ========== Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 5:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e (Nero Express) Recorder: <_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A> Version: 102C - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A>Version: 102C - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD800VE-75HDT1 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A D: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1015MB (1039740kB) Free physical memory: 560MB (573616kB) Memory in use : 44 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 4.2.2007 ISO compilation 6:47:01 AM #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 6:47:01 AM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 6:47:01 AM #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 6:47:01 AM #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 6:47:02 AM #5 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2023359 (449:38.09, 3951MB) 6:47:02 AM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 6:47:02 AM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: MBI 01 - RG40 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 6:47:02 AM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 6:47:02 AM #9 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2023360 (2023360) = #2023360/449:38.10 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2023360 blocks [_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 6:47:13 AM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Hello. The biggest problem might be the Moser Baer media. It's not high in quality. I'd try some Verbatim, Made in Japan Sony, or Taiyo Yuden. I think the 103D firmware is the newest for this laptop burner. Here's the link to the Dell firmware page for that laptop burner and the newest firmware: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&vercnt=2&formatcnt=1&libid=32&fileid=191376
