Okay need a bit more information....
Which operating system are you using? - Windows XP (Pro/Home), 98 etc?
Which version of Nero are you using? (Help - About)
What is the exact and complete text of the error message?
At what stage in the burning process does the error occur?0 -

..............and if that doesn't work, go into Nero Info Tool and check ASPI layer isn't corrupted/uninstalled (for both system and Nero).
