I am struggling to figure out what is wrong when I try to backup some of my DVD's. I am using an external DVD writer (HP DVD300e) attached via a USB 2.0 connection to a DVD laptop (2 ghz, Pentium 4). I am about 50% successful using NERO V.35. When it does not work I get the following log from NERO. I apologize for the amount of text but I'm not sure what is needed to help. Can anyone help this serious Newbie?

Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to get a complex with the lack of replies. I am currently running on Windows 2000 Professional (do you know if this also has experienced problems similar to the XP). I may have difficulty getting the original window drivers to load back on as this is a work laptop.
