Every drive is on it's own IDE port and jumpered as master. All UDMA is on. I use 80 pin UDMA cables for all my drives. I even double checked and swapped my CDRom with the Burner today to see what happens. I can not burn ONE single error-free CD with this burner, using good TDK brand 48x CD-RWs. I even got down to burning at 4x speed to avoid errors, but still a no-go. Not even at 4x ! I first used Nero 5.5.10.42....now i got Nero 6 - still the same results. If i burn a typical, say ~500MB CD with lots of files i always get two or three files where Nero says "Verify error", the burned files don't match the ones on HD. When i burn a large ~500MB zip archive etc. then also most of the time i get CRC errors. Thanks for any help !!!

Good as TDK discs are for most, they may be a poor match for your drive.
If the manufacturer recommends a line of media, try some of that type.

Note that it is extremely unlikely that discs rated 48x will write well
at 4x. The most likely optimum speed (fewest errors) may be 16x.
