@iammrmojo Welcome to aD! Here's what I can see & some suggestions. Turn DMA back on. Here's a guide if needed: http://my.afterdawn.com/alkohol/blog_entry.cfm/231/dmaissues Not a lot of memory - 512 mb is better - but free up as much as you can. No multi tasking and shut down any unnecessary processes. eck! Not good media to say the least. Try switching to Verbatim or made in Japan Fuji, Sony or Maxell. Is this a Dynex drive? You may also need a firmware - I think this drive comes w/ an auto update program. Slow it down - esp w/ CMC - 4x on that stuff - better media I might try a little higher w/ this drive and see what happens. Roxio and Nero don't always play well together. Uninsall it and run the rozio zapper. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml You can also update to Nero 6.6.0.18 http://www.listsoft.com/programs/1983/?fileid=3
