Here's the suggestion given towards your problem on another thread ! It's from CCampbell -- a Technician at Ahead Software (Nero) !

The PMA area is the 'Program Memory Area' on the media. When you begin writing to a disc, in Track-At-Once mode the Lead-In is reseverd, but not written too yet as the data has yet to be written to the disc. And the Lead-in contains information as to where the data is located on the disc so that it can be retrieved later when you go to read the disc.

Till the Lead-In is written, this information is contained in the PMA on the disc. There is a limited number of times that you can write to the PMA, but you it's impossible to fill that area up before you filled up the disc.

When you are unable to write to the PMA area, it's normally caused by poor media, dust on the optical head, recording software problems, old firmware on the recorder, or a recorde in need of alignment. But 90% of the time its media related.

Regards,

Craig

Thanks.
I've been using Genuine Ritek Ridata G04 4X DVD-R Super Grade media (over 100 disks), and this is the first time that this has happened.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to "gut" my system tomorrow and do some cleaning. Thanks for the help.
