#1

I am trying to backup some data onto DVD, using Nero enterprise edition 6.6.0.5.

Everytime i try, (burn under 4 GB for one DVD), I get an “unspecified target error”?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, WinXP Home SP2 (laptop), Nero enterprise edition 6.6.0.5, Slimtype DVDRW SOSW-8525.

Log attached - Thanks!

@ lister
I think your burner is having trouble reading this disc. The disc MID is not listed in the firmware. I personally have never heard of MAM4XG-02 before(but that means nothing, just commenting). Have you ever gotten a successful burn using this media? I would recommend using better quality media. See What DVD media should I use with my LiteOn DVD burner . Let us know how it goes.

You could also use more memory…

Physical memory : 223MB (228720kB)
Free physical memory: 12MB (13260kB)
Memory in use : 94 %
…with this amount of memory, you should be very careful when you burn and follow good burning procedures, like no programs running or open during the burn, defrag your HDD, run a spybot program etc.

Thanks for replying!

Yes, I disabled all of the running progs(disabled network connection, turned off firewall & AV) & a few of the processes. Didn’t open any programs, before or during the burn(such as it was!). I have had success burning DVDs before this - though not with this particular media.
I will try again tonight on another brand and report back!
