Nero Formatting disc failed Error

[Wallmonster]

Hello,

I was getting an illegal disc error using Nero and Memorex dvd rw's so I followed the related thread. I updated my firmware and Nero and checked my DMA settings and now I error out even faster I'm a complete newbie so very basic instructions would be appreciated.

Here is my error log.

Hi and welcome to the forum, Wallmonster!

Could be that your RW disc is broken. Tried with another RW disc?

Do you have burning problems even with regular -R/+R discs?

You could also try to format the disc with this program - to rule out Nero as the fault.

DVD Info Pro

I've tried a couple of different disc with no success. I've also tried a different video file in the burning rom and express.

DVD Info Pro appears to be able to format the disc though.

Thanks
