Hi All I'm having problems while burning Audio/data Cds with Nero 6 or its latest Demo version. It starts the burning process but suddenly it throws an error for "Illegal block size for command" and it stops the burning process. Its a new Sony Vaio laptop with XP as OS and has DVD-RW. I have almost used 6-7 CD's, but nothing seems to work for me. The media is not bad either, because the same media works fine on other systems. Here is the log generated by Nero: ************************************************** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'Crogram FilesAheadNeroWnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 12/16/2003 7:18:06 PM Nero version: 6.3.1.6 (Nero Express) Recorder: <MATSHITA UJ-810> Version: C102 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.6 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <MATSHITA UJ-810 >Version: C102 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.6 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : HITACHI_DK23FA-60 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : MATSHITA UJ-810 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === MATSHITA UJ-810 F: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 66060288 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 446MB (457712kB) Free physical memory: 140MB (143876kB) Memory in use : 68 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 30.3.2004 Audio CD 8:13:22 PM #1 CDADOC -1 File Cdadoc.cpp, Line 1510 Audio item log info: Audio document burn settings: ============================= Burn mode: DAO, CD Text: On, Cache disk or network files: No, Cache small files: No, Cache files smaller than 65536 bytes.

Hi.This may not be of much a help but I used to face sort of a similar problem on my desktop. I am using creative CD/RW and i noticed if i burn more than two CDs , the third one would just stop and eject with an error message. A friend of mine told me to let it cool down for 5 or 10 minutes before burning again and it has worked fine so far. the other thing is that the type of discs used as i found that (for creative only as far as i know) it wont take discs from certain manufacturers but i am not sure about sony. if all fails i would say just go back to your dealer and have it checked.
