For some reason I can no longer burn anything. I reinstalled Nero, cleaned out all the old folders, checked firmware and reinstalled my drive and yielded no results. I attached my most recent failed log file. Thanks ahead of time to anyone that helps.

Turn DMA mode back on for the burner - guide. Try taking the burn speed down to 24x. Give that a go and let us know.
Did you check DMA in the sata controllers? Is it just cd's that don't burn or dvd's too? Have you tried any other media?
What's changed pc wise since you were last able to burn? Keeping up on the system maintenance like disc defrag, disc cleanup, virus scans? Did you check DMA or try a lower burn speed? Have you tried another burning program just in the slim chance it's Nero?
