Have you got over 1 gig of free space on the hard drive ?
Have you tried burning the disc at a non max speed ?
Can you change the cache size to a larger value in the options ?
Try that lot , and let me kno ..

Cache. Check your drive speed is ok
Defragment your drive if you get a low rating
UltraBuffer.
Should be on auto.
If it is , change it

Try that.
Do other programs such as alcohol 120% work ?

What release of Nero <spit> are you using?
Several of our customers have reported similar problems with Nero Reloaded:
- locking up system
- creating silent gaps between DVD chapters!
- recognising blank discs as full

I dare say it is not your burner.
Is the DVD writer on a different channel to the hard disc ?
I cant understand why this isnt working.
Try in Alcohol 120% ripping the image to the hard drive. Reboot your machine , and then mount the image using the virtual device.
Test that works ok
Then if thats ok , try burning the image.
Repeat.
If it fails , i suspect windows / other driver is killing something.
