I've done a lot of searching and read a lot of posts to try to find my answer but so many times the problem is software/hardware or disk specific. I recently updated my nero to 7.5.9.0 after hearing so often that it was a good stable version, after having a lot of freeze ups and stuff with the older version. Since the update (and somewhat before) I've been having a number of read errors when using Burning Rom which I use for both data and Video usually with success but now seem to get errors on every second disk. I know disk quality is very important but simply can not find good Japanese disks where I have looked so have to settle for the usual brand names made in Taiwan. I've tried three different brands (Memorex, Fuji and Verbatim +RWs) now and still have problems every second or third disk despite only burning at 1/2 or 1/4 of Max speed meaning burning at 8 and 4 times with the +R disks and 4 times with the +RWs. I have a one year old higher end Dell computer with with an E6600 dual core duo processor and 2 gig of memory. Running WINXP SP2. The HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H31N Writer has firmaware current to six months ago and the only update was for something not necessary unless you had problems. I would like to post one of my logs but don't know if that is permissable without getting permission. I'm wondering if a setting might have been altered when I updated the Nero. Appreciate any help this great team can offer.
welcome to afterdawn....... and of course you can post your log! just remember to take out your serial # usually staring with 1A or 1C! Also post the complete whole nero log so we can see exactly what's going on!

newer firmware for your drive: B109 shut off your virtual drives and turn on your DMA! here's how: http://my.afterdawn.com/alkohol/blog_entry.cfm/231/dmaissues your burn was successful! it's your Data verification that is causing trouble! did you try playing your disk? did it play ok? I never use the Data verification to check on the disk.... the best test is to play it!
Hmm interesting, thanks for your reply which as usual for me brings up a couple issues. I did find a B110 Firmware on Dell which wasn't there before. I can only assume its newer than the B109 you linked too and as I recall the dates differed by only a couple weeks. When you say shut off your virtual drives do you mean disable them for now but they can be enabled later when required? I have disabled them for now through Device Manager either way but I do use them sometime. Real wierd but I don't have that line IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in my Device manager and I have a vague recall of dealing with that same DMA and IDE thing in the distant path. It may be so distant as to being on my previous computer but nevertheless I don't even have that line. As to the data verification I just took them at their word. I never used to see those messages till recently (but with the previous Nero also of late). I've never really checked when they said there was problems because I assumed it knew what it was talking about and would burn again at a slower speed and shut down anything I may have missed. They generally appeared during the latter half of the check. That's more interesting information that I appreciate. Can you shed any light on the ATA/ATAPI controllers? Thank you again for your invaluable assistance.
I've looked all over the computer and expanded the Device Manageer every which way but I can't get to that IDE controller. So wierd.
