A very common message with Nero and related software. Two things are
possible here.
1.) Move the CD-RW to a different IDE cable than the one it is on.
2.) Do not let the program record " On the fly" .What it will then do is
make an image copy temporally to your hard drive and then burn it to your
CD. It takes longer but there is less likelihood of a screw up resulting in
a bad CD burn.
