I am using nero burning rom. I have a 900mhz 384mb sdram, 80gb computer running windows xp pro. The dvd burner I am using is the LG GSA-4081B Super Multi DVD Rewriter. When i burn dvd-rw that have more then 3 gigs of data in them i get a focus or tracking error right away before the burn starts or half way through the process. What can I do?

When you burn DVDs, a lot of people suggest to leave the PC alone.
