Angry DVD/CD burner combo drive can't burn CDs!
My new LG-4040B multi drive can't burn CDs. I'm using Nero 6.0 and I've tried DAO and TAO but neither one works. There is another option TAO/96 but I have no idea what that is (and I'm tired of burning coasters). When using disk at once i get an "Illegal block size error" when it's finalizing the CD, and when using disc at once I get a "could not perform end track" and "session fixation error".

I've tried burning at max speed (24X) and at 16X but still no luck.

Burning DVD's works perfectly, but I need to burn CDs so that I can change the ones I have in my car, those are getting old really fast!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I've attached the Nero log if that helps, I can't make heads or tails of it.

Try another burning program perhaps www.burnatonce.com
See if any burn cd's.
Then you can find if the problem is hardware or software.

First make sure you've got the latest firmware, A302.
