Well, Nero won't burn to my Plextor Drive, so I use Roxio for that.

Any idea on how I can eliminate my problems with Nero and Roxio? Or Do I just need to use Roxio from now on?

I'd upgrade to Full Nero if I knew it would work without the problems I'm getting, and eliminate Roxio all together. But I'm sketchy on shelling out $ to do that if there's a good chance it still won't work.

I do have my Roxio disc, so I suppose I could uninstall it and find out. Then re-install if needed...

Do you recommend I do that?

[Chewy]

I hate to say it but I would go Roxio, if you ever get a new computer or do a clean install then try nero full trial, your oem must be tied to your sony burner.

For my audio work I use cool edit and nero full.

[gazor]

A collegue of me had the same problem: "Illegal Disc". There was no Roxio software installed but MusicMatch.
The problem disappeared immediately after MusicMatch was removed

[Change]

Yeah, my Nero is tied to the SONY burner. It will recognize my other burner, but will not burn with it.

I guess I'll stick with Roxio for the time being. Thanks for the help Chewy, it's appreciated.
