sorry my internet was down so I couldnt say the results. Yes it was the ide driver. When i updated to the latest nvidia nforce drivers, i couldnt finalize discs. I tried the Microsoft drivers but those did not fix the problem. I went back to very old nvidia nforce drivers provided by the asus support site which fixed it. Thank you for the help.

i did have the newest nforce drivers. Where can I get the ms drivers? should i rollback to the chipset drivers from the asus support site?

thanks for the reply. ill try it right now

Hello thanks for reading. Here is my system setup: > Mainboard : Asus M2N-E > Chipset : nVidia nForce 570 SLI > Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ @ 2500 MHz > Physical Memory : 4096 MB (4 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM ) > Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT > Hard Disk : Seagate ST332062 (320 GB) > DVD-Rom Drive : TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162C > DVD-Rom Drive : TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S183L SCSI CdRom Device > DVD-Rom Drive : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-212D SCSI CdRom Device > Monitor Type : BenQ BenQ FP93GX - 19 inches > Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 > DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2008) all drivers are up to date, as well as firmware. I came across a problem with finalizing discs and I have no idea what is going on. I do not remember system changes that I have done in order to cause the problems. When I was backing up an xbox 360 it showed a disc finalization error and I eventually had to continue without finalizing the disc yet it still played on my xbox. This was done on my pioneer drive. I have done some dvd burning as well with my samsung drive with convertxtodvd, and have come across constant disc finalization errors, yet the dvds still works on players and my computer. The only thing i can think of for this happening is maybe i deleted something i needed when i ran registry cleaners, or I recently had a problem with BSODs and unexpected shutdowns (i think was caused by rivatuner and graphics card). I dont get them anymore, but i still have the finalization problems. I use verbatim dvd+r dl and dvd+r. Here is the imgburn log and if you want to look at the convertxtodvd log please ask.
