I'm running XP Sp2 and have a Pioneer 107D burner, firmware 1.13. I'm also using Nero 6.6.0.1. I've never had any problems with the burner before but I've just recently reinstalled my OS and now whenever I try to burn a DVD, I get a communication failure error. I've tried reseating the IDE cable and also just downloaded the ASPI drivers 4.60 but as soon as I start a burn, the error comes up. This is also happening when burning CDs, no matter what type of media I use (currently use Imation and have never had a problem with them previously). Could someone please take a look at this log and let me know if it provides any clues to my problem? Thanks.

Having the same problem with a Memorex DVD-RW+ 16x 4x 16x but running Win2000 Pro, SP4. Would be interested in the answer.
Got it working by installing the Intel Application Accelerator which updated my IDE drivers (and I assume speeds up my system as an added benefit). Strange as it used to work fine with the Windows drivers but at least it's working again. Give it a shot. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scr...il_Desc.aspx?agr=N&DwnldID=4857&ProductID=663
