Having Windows XP Professional with SP 3 OS in my Acer Aspire 3002NLC
Notebook.
And Sony “Optical Drive Optiarc CD-RW CRX880A” .
I have installed the relevant firmware downloading it form the URL
http://www.sony-optiarc.us/en/support-service/downloads/fw_cd-writer-dv-series3.htm .
My system is using Nero StartSmart File Version 2.0.0.29 i.e. Nero Express 6
or Nero Vision Express 3 as my writing software,

HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL APPEARS TO BE WITH THE SAID Sony Optical Drive
Optiarc CD-RW CRX880A.
MANY BLANK CDs ARE GETTING DAMAGED ON WRITING WHILE THE WRITING SOFTWARE
CONFIRMS "WRITING IS SUCCESSFUL"
BUT IN REALITY THE SAID DRIVE CAN NOT OPEN THE FILES/FOLDERS IN THE WRITTEN
CDs BUT AFTER OPENING IT (A WRITTEN CD) THE WAY A DIALOGBOX SHOWS AS IF STILL
A BLANK CD IS THERE FOR WRITING!
MEANWHILE, THE 'REGEDIT' HAS BEEN TRIED BY DELETING THE UPPER AND LOWE FILES
CONCERNED THERE.

SOMETIME VERY SMALL FILE LIKE 'FILE.txt' CAN BE WRITTEN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM
BUT IF A BIGGER VIDEO FILE IS WRITTEN ON IT (AFTER A MULTISESSION MODE) THEN
MOST POSSIBILITY IS THAT THE WRITING WILL FAIL (THOUGH THE WRITING SOFTWARE
WILL CONFIRM 'WRITTING IS SUCCESSFUL")

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE WRITING MARK ( A FAINT BURNING MARK USUALLY
NOTICEABLE AFTER BURNING A CD ON THE WRITTING SIDE OF IT) IS NOT ATALL
NOTICEABLE IN A WRITTEN CD BY MY SYSTEM, (SUCH BURN MARK IS NOTICEABLE WITH
THE CDs WRITTEN BY OTHER COMPUTER SYSTEMS, )
BUT THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN SUCH REFLECTION IS SO ONLY WITH THE
PROBLEMATIC WRITTEN CDs BUT EVEN A GOOD CD (SUCCESSFULLY WRITEN WITH SAID
OPTICAL DRIVE) CAN ALSO REFLECT THAT - AFTER SUCCESSFULLY BURNING A CD WITH
THE SAID OPTICAL DISK DRIVE.

I DO NOT REALLY KNOW HOW LONG I SHALL HAVE TO STAY WITH THE MERCY OF MY
OPTICAL DRIVE SAID AND TO ENABLE ME TO SUCCESSFULLY WRITE MOST OF THE BLANK
CDs ! CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH A PROPER REMEDY?

Have you consider using a newer version of Nero 6, either the newest
version or any Nero 6 updates?

Also, consider testing your drive with a different software. You can
find some really good "free" burning softwares. One that might work:
