My CD-RW is fairly new (less than a year), and up until recently, everything has been working fine, but recently I cannot burn to CD-RW's properly, everytime I try to burn something >100MB or so, I get sector errors on it (when verifiying the disc contents with Nero 7) - now, I can burn CD-R's perfectly, now the CD-r's I am using are a bit old (around a year or so, I have only erased them a few times each, and the disc surfaces are flawless, I tried searching google and found info about DMA being off possibly causing problems with CD-RW's, but it is enabled, so could this be a problem with the CD-RW's (I've tried around 5-6 or so, same problem, just can't seem to get this Linux ISO to burn to it properly, or anything else for that matter), or is it my drive or does it sound more like a software issue? I've tried burning things with different software 9Nero 7, CD burner XP, XP's built-in burning features, burnatonce, DeepBurner, I've tried quick erasing and full-erasing of the discs, same problem occurs either way, with any of the software.) - I've tried everything I can think of so far (disconnected and re-connected the drive, removed the drivers for it, removed the IDE controller drivers and reinstalled, tried many many different burning programs, etc.)

I take it , it has worked fine for you in the past? Have you tried a new cdrw? Have you uninstalled the software (NERO) and reinstalled it ? Have you re-installed the drivers for the burner? " Please Post back to let us know if we helped "

Dump the cd-rw and buy yourself a DVD/CD burner. Sorry, I do not check for private messages

For what it is worth I too had problems with CDRW's and solved it by stopping using them. CDR's cost so little and burn so much quicker. It is not worth the grief.
