So if it does have bad sectors than it's a media problem? If no bad sectors are found, then it's something else? The Sony drive in new, I had seen similar glitched on my Pioneer drive, hense why I bought the Sony BUT I wasn't using anyDvd, I was using DVD Cloner at the time. SO if I don't get any bad sectors on the scan, the likely cause of the problem would be what? Thanks for your help, it's appreciated!

BTW...where do I find the surface scan in nero tools! Argggg...I was looking in where you sent me but I'm not seeing a surface scan.
