Pam,
I have almost the same identical setup and I also use Nero as my burning
program. I can tell you from personal experience that the errors you are
having are most likely due to a problem with the
cdr unit itself. I had the same thing happen to me.
I would suggest getting your warranty info out and seeing if your cdr is
still covered. If so
call tech support and let them take you through the standard tests to
determine if the problem
is your unit.
One other slight possibility would be to downgrade back to the original
version of Nero you started with. I use V 4.3 I believe and it seems to be
very stable and efficient.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Burning CD's


I'm having a problem burning CDs.  I have a Packard Bell Intel Pentium MMX
200
MHz system with 96 MB RAM.  I have one 4 GB HD partitioned into two 2GB
partitions.  Each partition has about 600 MB free space.  I have a 40x CDROM
and a Creative CD-RW RW6424E CD writer as a slave to the 40x drive.  I use
Nero
Burning CD software, recently upgraded to version 5.
