I see this has been discussed in here before, but I'm now stuck with it. I'm trying to burn an ISO onto DVD but each time it reaches to about 95% completion, I get an "Internal Target Failure, couldn't perform disc-at-once" error message. I've tried different media, reducing the last physical address & most recently upgraded to Nero8. The following is the error log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.3.2.1 Internal Version: 8, 3, 2, 1 (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4083N>Version: 1.08 - HA 1 TA 0 -

here is what your error shows as possible cause: There are many cases where the cause is the R/RW drive itself. If the problem is not solved when you try the suggested actions, get your drive checked. the only real suggestion is MEDIA used and CLEAN the drive.
