I trying to figure out why my friends DVD burner won't burn DVD's. All burns crap out right after the Lead-in. I'm currently trying Nero 7 but have also tried other software with similar results. Here's the most recent error log from Nero, tell me if there's anything that jumps out at you Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.0.0 Recorder: <ATAPI DVD DD 2X16X4X16> Version: G7V9 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.0.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

BTW, the drive burns CD-R's with no problem and reads everything...it just won't burn DVD's....and YES IT IS A DVD BURNER
