Alright, close to bedtime. I just got two different threads confused.

Go with jbone on this one. And a tip, when using 98...try to stay away from installing more than one utility after another of the same format. The registry is not self-evolving like 2000 or XP. It just keeps looking for the same files involving one process on your machine...at the same time. That's what the ATAPI error is, it keeps looking to maybe find a subsystem that you may have the other program or programs on.

If you have Easy CD Creator installed (any version), remove it. In fact, remove all your CD burning software, then remove the ASPI later, then install the one included with ForceASPI, then install the latest version of Nero (and no other burning software).

I have no idea if this will help, but it's the best I can come up with.
I tried the ForceASPI before when you tried to help me, but I'll try it again with uninstalling Nero.

And I pretty much got a whole new computer, so I installed 98 when I got my 40gb, Motherboard, etc..

How new is your burner? Has it ever worked? It could be bad. Could have a crimped cable - but I think it wouldn't work at all in that case.

I don't get it, do you have your burner on a seperate IDE cable? Sometimes, and depending on the brand, a burner will not work while on the same cable as the ROM. It will become quite unstable. By "unstable" I mean it may burn one day and not the next. It may not recognize the CD or you may end up with horrible background noise. Other than that I'm clueless.

It's never burned data cds, but since it was the 3rd burner (and 3rd different brand) that I had tried, I went with it since I thought it was a problem with my system, and it probably is.

And the burner is on the secondary IDE chain with the DVD-ROM, CDR is master.

Eeeeeek!!! Get it off there! That could very well be the problem. Try switching them out and see what happens.
