Hi, I'm new to this forum so I hope that this is the correct forum to post in, basically I have a problem with my dvd writer and nero for some reason it won't burn any sort of DVD or CD - it gets past writing the lead in and starts writing the data but then fails - I had this problem with my previous DVD writer which is why I bought the DVDRW SHM-165P6S however after updating my bios (because i bought a new hardrive which my other bios wouldn't recognise) it has also stopped working. I tried to update the firmware for the drive but this just caused windows not to recognise the drive. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi. Consider an update? The best so far is this one: Nero 6.6.0.18 - http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_y Your usage is a bit high. Try to close everything in the background while you're burning. I would burn no faster than 4x until i was error free if i was you. Prodisc aren't the best media around, but since your burner recognizes it properly (firmware IS up-to-date) it should burn. Still, i would look for some decent media like Verbatim or Sony. Also, could you edit out the number at the top that starts with 1Axxxxx please? You don't want your serial hanging around...
thanks for all the info m8, done exactly what u said and its all working fine, really appriecate it thanks a lot
