Hi all, I've got a problem where Nero errors at 94% each time I try to burn a CD-R. I've tried Nero 7 & Nero 8, as well as Deepburner, and the burn always fails at 94%. Interestingly, a CD-RW burning the same data finishes fine. I've got a Matshita UJ-850s drive, and the Nero error log is as follows: Code: Windows XP 6.0 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.0.3.0 Internal Version: 8, 0, 3, 0 Recorder: <MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-850S>Version: 1.20 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.0.3.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default CD-ROM: <MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-850S >Version: 1.20 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.0.3.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : IL4075I BZG481C 2.0B al8kcqj1 Port 4 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-850S E: CdRom0 IL4075I BZG481C G: CdRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1021MB (1046080kB) Free physical memory: 396MB (405892kB) Memory in use : 61 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 19.9.2007 Audio CD 15:00:20 #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 424 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 15:00:20 #2 CDADOC -1 File Cdadoc.cpp, Line 1588 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.

I'm at my wits end here, and I've got too many coasters already... - R365
I'm not great with the logs but just a note - what media are you using? hope you are not using the cheapest of discs? it *could* be that simple
Brand-new Verbatim CD-Rs, and I've also tested it with Sony-branded CD-Rs as well. I don't think it's the quality of the media...
sorry I didn't help much the media you are using sounds fine and good that you've tried two different brands. now just wait for someone to properly analyze your log hope that happens soon and you get it resolved just another query the age of your burner and roughly the amount of discs burned?? also have you updated the firmware? the burner website should have the firmware update... goodluck
It came with my Vaio, so as far as I'm aware the only place I can get firmware updates is from Sony, which I'm up to date with. I haven't been able to find anything from Matshita themselves. I only bought the laptop 9-10 months ago, and I don't think I use the burner that heavily, so I would've thought it would last a bit longer, at least...
reno365 I thought someone would have gone over your log by now a rough estimate some people say a burner can burn thousands of discs so it doesn't sound at all like an age or use issue keep trying and perhaps post another log and hopefully an expert will go over it for you perhaps drop the burn speed right down to below 8x if you're prepared to wait other than that I'm stumped I wish someone would jump in and guide you cheers
I might email a good Nero person from Aferdawn for you and see if they can help at all standby for their help and goodluck
Sorrow93 - thanks for your help. I've had some success dropping from x24 speed to x16, and on a CD-R it doesn't really take that much longer, but it's still bugging me. I'll play around with it and post another log if it does something else unusual.
I would probably even go down to 12x or 8x just for maximum quality wish I could get it solved for you you are not multi-tasking when burning and/or got the screensaver set or any software that might be interfering with the Nero process?
