Hi. Are you using good quality media like Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or made in Japan labeled Fuji or Sony? Are you burning at max speed? Slow your speed to 4X and see if that helps. Make sure you changed the jumper on your NEC burner to master if not using cable select. Also make sure the cable is secure to the burner as well as to the mobo. Are you backing up DVDs or burning data? Use Device Manager and check the DMA settings on the burner. Here's a guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 If Nero or Roxio generated a log for the failed attempt, post it back to this thread editing out any name or serial numbers. In Nero 7 the log is here: Program Files -> Nero -> Nero7 -> Core -> NeroHistory
