Help! I can't burn DVDs

[Joe Forster/STA]

This must be some communication problem between the drive and the operating system because of faulty motherboard, IDE/S-ATA cable, driver, DMA settings, other OS settings, whatever... (The operating system is notified about a new media having been inserted into the drive and the OS desperately tries to get some information about the media once the drive finished processing it... in vain.) Try these.

the os files should be ok because i developed the prob under vista went back to xp then back to vista again all with a clean install each time. everything inside LOOKS ok. i think it hangs cuz theres something on the disc to be read, the cpu just cant make heads or tails of what it is. put in the stand alone and within 15 seconds it says cannot play this disc. strangely every once in a while ill make 1, put it back in to see if it reads, the drive starts to hang so i get pissed off and shut down the comp and walk away. come back later boot up the comp go into my comp and see d:\saw 3_ws and it plays fine. ??? beats the sh... outta me

if i remember right the only thing outta place in the nero log was something like invald key address...or something like that
