I've just upgraded to a new computer and reinstalled Nero and everything else. I've changed the DMA setting, upgraded the drivers, and all the other things I found on this site. Still can't burn. Any help would be much appriciated. Here is the inof I get from Nero: Jim *Edit Nero ID* 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 6:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e (Nero Express) Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DRU-720A> Version: JY08 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SONY DVD RW DRU-720A >Version: JY08 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD RW DRU-720A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6B120P0 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : WDC WD800JD-75MSA3 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === SONY DVD RW DRU-720A E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 510MB (522316kB) Free physical memory: 100MB (102752kB) Memory in use : 80 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 15.7.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 11:50:32 PM #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 11:50:33 PM #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 11:50:33 PM #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : TRUE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 11:50:33 PM #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 11:50:33 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 11:50:33 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer SONY DVD RW DRU-720A running 11:50:33 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:50:33 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:50:33 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 11:53:22 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2196047 (488:00.47, 4289MB) 11:53:22 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 11:53:22 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: SONY DVD RW DRU-720A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: RITEKG - 05 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 11:53:22 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

hi there 80% is a lot of memory in use. i suggest you cut down on multitasking while burning are you sure the disc is blank? if you are what kind of discs are you using? your drive doesnt seem to be recognizing them.
you didnt have anything open? if u didtn i suggest you check for adware/viruses as 80% is a lot for one burn process i believe tho i could be wrong. also, what discs are you using i had a problem where my drive wouldnt burn to my 16x TDKs but worked fine with 8x Sonys. it is a diff drive tho so might not be a problem. anyway the general suggestions are verbatim discs or sony and maxell that are made in Japan for high quality discs.
Hi SBullet As Xevlys pointed out 80% is high esp if your not multitasking. Check task manager and see what's running. Anything like aol, msn, iTunes things like that running? 2 things going on here. The hard drive (maxtor) still shows DMA as off. That could be playing into this from the log because speed of source data is too slow Also the burner and hard drive are on the primary ide cable - with the burner set to the master and the hard drive to slave. This can sometimes cause problems. The burner should be on a separate ide cable. When you upgraded did they configure it this way?
The system came with a cd/dvd player and I swapped it out for my burner. Then I added another drive that I use just for storage of DVD temp files and such. I'm note sure what I can change at this point as the primary drive that come with the system doesn't use a ribbon cable and my other drive and the DVD burn both use a ribbon.
Is the maxtor the storage drive? The Western Digital the primary drive? What kind of connection does the primary drive use?
Yes the Maxtor is the storage drive and the WD is the primary. The primary is SATA. The primary drive (WD SATA) Is on its own cable with an option for another. The DVD burner and the storage drive are on one EIDE cable. I belive this is the only EIDE cable.
Ok - make sure you have the pins/setting on the drives reflect their connection on the ide cable (master to master etc). Then get the Maxtor back in DMA mode. Here's a guide if needed: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Keep us posted!
Finally got a few disc to burn. Binkie, good call the problem was having that drive on the same cable. So I just put the temp files on the other drive and all is well. Thanks, really appriciate your help. Jim
You're welcome SBullet Txs for posting your results!! Glad it did the trick for ya too! Any more problems (hopefully not) just post back! Happy Burning! editted to add: Did you get DMA mode turned back on for the Maxtor hard drive?
