I don't really think software is the problem...
but Nero sucks, generally speaking...

use Alcohol, or ECDC.

have you checked your drive manufacturers website for any firmware updates that might help?

Extract from a Mircosoft site:-

If you installed the Windows XP upgrade over Windows 95, 98, or Me, and your DVD-ROM (CD-RW or CD) was working fine before the upgrade, it may be that the drive is being treated as DMA (direct memory access).
Try changing the transfer mode settings to PIO (programmed input/output).
In Windows XP, you do not find the settings in the properties dialog box for the device. The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article describes the steps for changing the settings.

All the problems are at the above link.

Use Nero !!!!

Check out the latest Nero here. I'm using Nero 6.3.0.2 Ultra and it does.. everything!

Or if you want expensive bloatware, try Roxio 6.

DWK - some older machines have problems using the DMA access mode, which is why there is the option. An O/S needs to cater to all target machines, that includes the museum peices that many offices still use.
