A04 and Nero

[slimtimdogg]

Updated firmware for the the A04 but now nero doesn't work!
Recording get to about 3% then nero gives the following erros: Invalid block address, Invalid writestate. Recording gets to about 4 - 7 % for DVD's then nero stops responding. Tried updating bios for motherboard and using latest nero but still problem occur!

Abit KT7 & AMD1000
Win 98
Nero 5.5.7.8

Have you tried the updated CDROM.CFG from Ahead? I read on a formum that you need an 'F' after the drive to make it work.
An excerpt from the CFG file just downloaded today:

TYPE=IDE GENERIC_1

CDRCAP_MAXREADSPEED=3300
CDRCAP_MAXREADDASPEED=1800
