I moved the burner to my other machine which is running Win 2000. It detected the drive, and NERO was able to successfully do the burn. It wrote to the same CDRW disk that fails under K3B so it shouldn't be the hardware.

I did further testing and in doing a standard copy of a CD, the program will reset the speed to 4x. This is either up from 2x or down from 10x. The strange thing is that it always fails after writting 19 MB of track 16 as if it runs out of space in a file. Additionally, I can create iso images with no problems. I have been able to create backup copies of data to dvds and other such things. This is the first time that I tried to copy an audio CD and it failed. Tom.
