My sisters dvd burner gives the error "illegal disc" at exactly 4 minutes everytime while trying to burn. I've tried her burner in my computer and it works just fine, put my working burner in her computer and I get the same error and coaster.

Something else to note, when I first turn on my sisters computer w/ my burner it says "New Hardware: CD drive" or something like that, not acknowledging it is a DVD drive. Also, when I go to properties on the drive it says it is type: CD drive.

I've updated the firmware on her and my burner but since both are working on my computer that should pretty much rule out a defect in the actual hardware.

Any help would be great as I'm leaving for school Friday so I really need to get this fixed for her!

Well, thanks for the replies :/ but I found a fix to this so I am posting this in case others have the problem.

Someone else had this problem and it is caused by installing Nero AFTER you install music match jukebox v. 10. I uninstalled both, used Nero cleaner, reinstalled Nero and the burner works. I did not try to reinstall musicmatch so I dont know if the order in which you install those programs matters or just that they are conflicting no matter what. The drive affected was a lite-on.
