Hi, having mooched around this forum, I've decided to leave an error log for your good selves to puruse... As the subject matter suggests, I'm getting the illegal disc error message when trying to burn Wav's to an audio CD. The burner works fine using WMP, but for some reason will not work with Nero. Which is strange as it has in the past and this problem has only just started to happen.... I have checked DMA and they're set to On for all IDE channels... and i have looked through the error log, having found a few sites that decipher the messages... allthough i haven't identified the error myself... So... here's the log... let me know if you find anything, or if there's a fix.... BTW, there's no update for the firmware.... so that cancells that one out?????
