So I did download the free trial of Nero and it worked like a charm. All the files downloaded onto the DVD perfectly. I just hate that I can't do it without it because I can't afford to purchase it. Does anyone have any suggestions on reliable, legally free burning software?

Thanks!

P.S I just now did the SP1 after I got my files backed up. I didn't want to lose them in the process so nope the problem wasn't caused by that.
