About a week or so ago, I turned on my computer to discover that I could not burn to either of my external burners. I have an external HP and an external NEC, as well as the internal burner on my laptop. I get roughly the same error messages w/the HP as I do the NEC, and the NEC is what I've been dealing with since last night, so that's what I'll post the log on. The internal burner works fine. The externals are what have stopped working. I've checked the forums, following the directions/suggestions given there, including: Updating Nero (tried both 6.6.0.18 and 6.6.1.4) Updating DVD Shrink Uninstalling Nero (repeatedly) Using Clean Tools to clean registry (which broke my iTunes) Reinstalling Nero (back to the ver.that I started with 6.0.0.28) and several other things I can't think of right now since I've spent hours and hours on trying to fix this. I know updating firmware was suggested, but I do not know how to upgrade this particular NEC... I've tried different types of media, also. I am running XP SP2 (Home), 1 GB memory, 3.4 GhZ chip. Here's the log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 6/17/2003 9:25:03 AM Nero API version: 6.0.0.28 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A> Version: 1.06 - HA 2 TA 0 - 6.0.0.28 Adapter driver: <> HA 2 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : TOSHIBA MK1032GAX atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-831S atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-831S D: CDRom0 _NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 894MB (916460kB) Free physical memory: 415MB (425748kB) Memory in use : 53 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 6.12.2006 NeroAPI 7:54:43 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 244 DVD-Video files reallocation started 7:54:43 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 244 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 7:54:43 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 244 DVD-Video files sorted 7:54:43 PM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 7:54:43 PM #5 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3882 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:54:43 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3882 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:54:43 PM #7 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3128 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 7:54:43 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 237 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45) Last address to be written: 2286175 (508:02.25) 7:54:43 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 242 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 7:54:43 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2043 Recorder: _NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: CMC MA - G.

Thank you for reading this far.)
It does not like your disk. Most likely because cmc mag just sux. I do see though, your nec is still running original firmware. That is very old. Update it to this one http://www.de.nec.de/software/2482_Firmware_ND-2500A_WIN10B.zip
Thank you very much for your help with the firmware. I appreciate that. Might I ask, what's cmc mag? Thank you.
