Unspecified Recorder Error

Are you using a cracked registring code? There is a chance that NERO detects "fake" codes and this results in strange behaviour of the program. I don't know exactly what happens because I have an official licence, but I know it'll ruin you CDR's.

When I attempt to copy a CD with Nero ( latest version )a error message appears saying "Unspecified Recorder Error" - "Read CD Failed". ( I have been successfully burning roms for the past two years without a hitch ). Can anyone enlighten me as to what the cause may be? Thankyou. Anzac ( Australia )

ps. I have posted the log file from nero below

thanks for the reply, but since I posted the help request, I also tried all my other CD-R programs - Prassi, CD Creator, + Juggler, and none of them will allow me to burn a CD.
Their error messages vary??? Was wondering if a windows system file or driver or whatever may be the cause - it's got me beat!!!

Maybe its time to replace your writer...i had the same problem with my old philips3610......after many backups (when i say many i also mean many) u can toss it away.....i heard that scsi writers can handle more backups......maybe its an other problem but mine had to be replaced...(already tried everything else like clean install of win98 and stuff)......
