I got a problem on my Asus CD Burner (model : ASUS CRW-4824A), when i try to burn the some files using Nero 6 (latest version), it always stuck at the 'Simulation' part. And error prompted say that 'Simulation failed at 40X' . I have enough free space (few GB and RAM (196ram) and updated firmware, but why still i cannot burn the files. When i plug another burner into the same PC, it works fine without any issues. Could it be the burner hardware's failure? Below is the error log i get from Nero :

By the way, the burner was only about 1 years old and not in heavy usage. Any reply are welcome, thanks
