Question on Fragged HDD's and Data back-up burning

Ok I don't know if this is the right place to put this thread so if its not please move it to the appropriate place, thanks

I am using the latest Nero...for the burning program

Well I am backing up a korean drama I dled and the first disc went though clean, then for the second disc I ended up getting verification errors, so I decided to try again, but it happened again, with more errors I might add. I decided not to waste anymore DVD-R's and went hunting for a solution which eluded me. I decided to just defrag the drive that had the files (which according to the drive map was pretty separated but NOT fragmented) Then I tried to back it up again and it worked perfectly.

My question is would a fragged up drive make the burning process harder? Or did I just run into 2 bad DVD-R's in a row???

I use memorex DVD-R's by the way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm guessing 2 bad DVD-Rs. Unless the computer was looking for the peices of the files for long enough that your writer's buffer ran out, then it should have burned fine.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Almost all DVD burning devices have a buffer-underrun protection circuit, so a slow data transfer should NOT produce any defects on the disc. PI and PO values will increase for sure (because of sync problems when the writing process is interrupted) but this should not lead to a completly damaged sector.

Better be careful about your system, because if the discs are not the problem, then you have trouble (data corruption on harddrives is not funny at all).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
