I don't know if it's nero or my drive I'm having problems with. I've uninstalled the rebooted the drive. It used to burn dvd's. Here's the latest on the nero error. Can someone decipher this for me please. Is it the drive or the program. Thanks you for any help.

I personally think it's your drive as it hasn't seen support in 3-4 years which makes it a dinosaur in PC years. The errors above mean that your drive can't handle the media that you are trying to use. If you can try a different type of disc you may get a successful burn, if you can't it might be time to send that drive to the graveyard and look for a new one. New drives are reletively cheap these days and can be found for around $30-$40. There should also be a few more lines found below this one that indicate the manufacturer and MID of the discs you are using...your drive isn't even seeing the media.
