I'm literally stealing somebody's post (sorry Brock!) because it sums up my problem so wonderfully. I have been trying to fix a problem with a verification error on my system for about 2 weeks now. I read through the forum and found some great advice on updating my system, but I am still having the same problem. Here's what I've done as advised by the forum: Cleaned out my temp folder Updated cd-burner & dvd-burner firmware Downloaded latest ASPI Decreased burn speed Closed all other idle programs to make available memory I'm trying to burn ISO's. They seem to burn just fine, then when I click "Verify written data", it always fails. Then I check the discs and there's nothing on them, or it says "E: not accessable". I must've wasted at least 10 DVD's messing with all the settings, using Nero Express. I have nothing running in the background either. I don't know what to do. Anything else? I'm copying my error log file into this message (for this attempt I used Nero Express, but truthfully it happens no matter which I use). If anyone can help, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

@1984rocks - can't see much wrong in the logfile - - hmmmm, looks like this is an NEC ND-3520A OEM, and firmware appears to be current - http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1162 - however, the best your drive can recognise id that this disc is a +R, it doesn't seem to know any more about it.. - burn appears to have worked ok - i don't think much of the verification (sorry Nero!). try downloading dvdinfopro (free download from www.dvdinfopro.com) and running that disc thru it's media info check, pasting results here, so we can hopefully see exactly what media that is. Another way to verify discs is to use dvdinfopro to CRC scan the discs.
