Ok, first time poster obviously but I have read a few threads that have been helpful in the past so I figured I'd ask my question here. I don't know if this is the correct forum because it might not be a Nero problem... I'm using Nero 7 w/ smart start btw. So I've been burning DVD's for about 2 months now and I haven't had a problem. But the past two days I have been getting this message "Please insert a disc to write to" when I try to burn a project (Nero will transcode the project but when it gets to writing the content onto the disc, it spits it out). At first I thought I got a bad batch of discs so I bought a different kind and the same thing happened. This time I thought I got the wrong type so got new ones and still the same thing... I tried downloading the firmware for my driver (NEC DVD+R/RW ND 1100a) but nothing changed. I can't figure out what happened and it's really bothering me.. Can anyone help? Here's my burn log if it helps: ====== *** NeroAPI, History File *** ====== ****************** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 9/10/1999 12:06:00 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 7.0.0.0 Using interface version: 6.6.0.12 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\ Application: ahead\NeroVision Recorder: <_NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A> Version: 108B - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.0.0.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD300EB-75CPF0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Lite-On LTN486S 48x Max atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : NUXGT 1M70HA7OH638 1.03 avwsr0ns Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === Lite-On LTN486S 48x Max D: CDRom0 _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A E: CDRom1 NUXGT 1M70HA7OH638 G: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 40894464 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 254MB (260592kB) Free physical memory: 142MB (145936kB) Memory in use : 43 Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 2.8.2008 NeroAPI 9:19:22 PM #1 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 278 DVD-Video files sorted 9:19:23 PM #2 SPTI -1065 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 306 CdRom1: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1065) Sense Key: 0x05 (KEY_ILLEGAL_REQUEST) Sense Code: 0x20 Sense Qual: 0x00 CDB Data: 0xFA 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 20 Buffer x065a9a00: Len x6 9:19:24 PM #3 Text 0 File ThreadedTransfer.cpp, Line 525 ReadBuffer-Pipe got 39936KB of Memory 9:19:24 PM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 124 Reader running 9:19:24 PM #5 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3304 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:19:24 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3304 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:19:24 PM #7 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3301 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 9:24:58 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 289 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 9:24:58 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2568 Recorder: _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A Medium not present 9:24:58 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 456 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

I would recommend updating your Nero to this version 7.10.1.0 from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?2893 DMA needs to be on, heres a guide to turn back on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 It is recommended to have a minimum of 512 mb RAM to burn DVDs...suggest you add a further 256mb You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
Thanks for the help. I found out that I can only use a certain type of disc. I bought the last ones that worked and it worked fine... Is this because I my drive is out of date or because of the DMA settings?
