An update to this situation, in case anyone can offer some further help. I am still coastering discs left and right (at least I have started using rewritables now though). Nero is constantly giving me the "Error reading data" message and the burning speed on Roxio simply goes to almost nothing and the time remaining shoots to almost infinite.

This problem seemed to be solved for a few hours after using a tool called Perfec t Disc to defrag (which took 10+ hours and it was not even set at its highest mode!), but now we're right back to the same situation. I'm dropping files onto my Rio Karma right now to clear some disc space so that I can run the windows defrag again (it needs 15% free disc space), but last time I did this it simply finshed and told me that several files could not be defragged, and of course they were the large VOBs and FLACs that were the most fragmentated anyway.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil
