I have installed windows vista and Nero.Ultra.Edition.Enhanced.v7.8.5.0. When I want to burn cds everything goes alright. However when I want to burn dvds everytime it reaches only 1% and then shows PMA Update failure and could not perform Disc-at-once. So,the burn is cancelled and the dvd is lost... I have an LG DVDR. Also when I burn the dvd automatically when I create a movie with ConvertXtoDvd everything goes OK. Does anyone know what it has to do with? Is it a software or a hardware problem. Thanks a lot.
Hi again angelosbg Here's my post from the other thread: It could be a hardware or software problem - hard to say w/o seeing a log. Since ConvertX can get the job done though it may be a Vista/Nero issue. Try the same suggestion of doing it in 2 steps with Vision. Convert and save the file to the hard drive instead of burning w/ Nero. Then burn the file w/ Burning Rom or Express. If it fails post the log - just be sure to edit out the serial # - begins w/ 1A, 1C or 5C. Let's keep it to this thread (hint forum rules too) since you're problem is a little different then the poster's in the other thread

That's ok about the XP showing up - you can tell you're running Vista by this in the log - Windows XP 6.0 . If you were running XP you'd see this - Windows XP 5.1 Just how Nero reports it. One thing w/ Vista that Nero can't see if the drives are in DMA mode. Check just to make sure - don't run Vista but should be about the same: guide Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B>Version: A300 Drive can use a firmware update too - the latest is A306 Check the DMA mode and update the firmware - see if that does the trick. Keep us posted too!
DMA mode is enabled in both ATA Chanel 0 and ATA Channel 1. However,the link you sent me for the firmware update drives me to a chnese page where I cannot understand from where can I download it. Sorry if I am being a dump but I cannot reach the answer
Here is my new error report exactly after the firmware update.Everything went in the same way as before.I don't know..... 1C80-0000-19E5-MA2X-4001-0754-**** Windows XP 6.0 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.8.5.0 Internal Version: 7, 8, 5, 0 (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B>Version: A306 - HA 1 TA 3 - 7.8.5.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Ok - but drats! Let's try another burning program. ConvertX worked so if this one does then more and more looking like something with Vista and Nero on your setup. Try ImgBurn - free & good. Looks like this is already an image file so just use write mode. If not then use build mode to add and burn non image files. edit to add: Not sure if Nero will also show the drivers that may conflict w/ Vista under existing drivers in the log. Do you have any Roxio products installed? (dvd/multimedia software like Nero
Roxio products are products for cd and dvd burning? Or also daemon tools which is for images and powerdvd are of this kind?Because I have them. So now you suggest to install and try imgburn?Should I have first of all uninstalled nero or not? And how can we find the drivers that conflict with vista?
Yeah Roxio is a cd/dvd burning software like Nero. The driver can conflict w/ Nero but sounds like you don't have it installed. They other program you have listed are fine - not known to conflict w/ Nero. Any driver that might conflict w/ Nero is listed under Existing drivers: in the log. You have none showing - good thing. Since the Nero log doesn't show everything like it does for XP - just wanted to check to rule out any other possibilities. No need to uninstall Nero then install ImgBurn. ImgBurn is pretty problem free usually. Having 2 programs burn and 1 not would more than likely be a Nero issue. Doing a clean install of Nero but not be a idea either. Uninstall - run the clean tool - reboot and install again.
What do you mean with but not be a idea either? You mean that I should uninstall nero and,run the clean tool,reboot and install it again.Some days before I unistalled nero but without the clean tool and nothing changed.
Just not my night Meant might instead of but - god knows why I transposed those words. Running the clean tool just cleans out Nero entries and gives you a 'fresh' install. Can't hurt to give it a go.
I installed ImgBurn without uninstalling nero.As you said it wasn't a wrong idea. This is ImgBurn's error report.It didn't even reach 1%.It remained in 0 and showed this error. I/O Error!

Ok - doesn't look like a Nero issue. ImgBurn is usually pretty problem free even using different os's and is giving you the same error as Nero. Check the media now - the logs show it's manufactured TYG02 which is a great manufacturer. Check and see if your have the real deal - lot of fakes out there. Around the hub on the back you should see these codes: GG00xxxx The x's represent #'s. Try a different brand of media like Verbatim.
How can I check the media?The dvd labels or the drive? And what should I see? Excuse me if I don't understand some things. Also I have tried to burn a DVD-RW of another label and it didn't work either. I am starting to believe that there is a problem with my drive and I should buy another...
Check the back of a blank disc - close to around the inner hub you should see GG00xxxx (x's are #'s). May need a magnifying glass The media code in your log - TYG02 is great media but one of the ones faked a lot. May just be the drive if you've used the same DVD-RW before on it w/ Vista and now a no go. Try uninstalling the drive in device manager. These are instructions for XP but I would think Vista is similar. Right click on my computer. Pick properties>hardware tab>device manager. Click on the + next to dvd/cd drives. Right click on the drive and pick uninstall. Reboot and let windows do it's thing and reinstall.
The code behind the dvd is GG007009. I also uninstalled and installed the drive.Then I even used a maxell dvd but nothing had changed with Imgburn. I don't think that I have another choice instead of buying a new drive... Can you suggest me any dvd-rw label? Thanks a lot for everything!
Dang Well at least you got the real deal on the media - those are genuine Taiyo Yuden. One last thing you can check - try this drive in another pc - preferable one w/ Vista installed if you can. Good ones to look at would be LiteOn or Pioneer. If you're in the US check out newegg.com - great prices and service.
angelosbg , Sounds like the drive is dying as the blank media is genuine. That drive is a little old .
