OK, this is not going to be easy..but I am going to assume that you  do not use a CD Burning Program, just the resident Windows XP burning software?\n\nOpen some documents and try to save them to a NEW Blank CD, if this works then  we know it is not the CD Drive.\n\nTry downloading a trial version of one of the recognized CD Burner Programs, like Nero to see if it recognizes your burner.\n\nHave you updated any System Drivers with windows Update since it last worked? Maybe it corrupted your drive...\n\nCan you/Did you update the firmware of your CD Burner?\n\nTry www.Driverguide.com if you can not find any on the manufacturer's website.\n\nIn the Hardware/Device Manager Screen does the Windows XP Software see the drive as a CD/R/W  Drive?\n\nLastly ...as simple as it might sound... check the connections in side the PC, they might have come loose.

upgrade or reinstall your burner drivers DIRECTLY from the manufacturers website, your drivers might be affected by multiple cd burning programs that use different standards, and that's why you get the errors, definitely a softwarematic problem, nothing wrong with your hardware, your cd burner is working fine..

make sure your jumpers, the match the cable configuration.  I would make the burner jumpers set to cable select and the DVD to slave.. Make sure the plug has the DVD connected to the slave end and the burner to the master end.  If this doesn't work then post this question on sharkyforums.com.  They will help you out.

it sounds like the DVD burning software you had before has not yet been re-installed.\n\nInstall a DVD Burning program, then try it.

I think it's a mechanical problem you are facing. Is your CD Burner able to read a CD contents?? If yes then there is some problem in writing head. Try to restart your machine and load again Nero see wheather it runs... Otherwise you have to call the Vendor for CD Burner to short out the mechanical problems

Just use Nero 7.0 Premium, or any cd/dvd burning rom application that comes as a package.\n\nCheers.

Reinstall the burner's drivers, also check for an update at a website for the company that made the burner

try device manager and unistal it \nreboot and let windows find , this sometimes works\ngothe web site of your burning software and see if they have a upgrade for disc (i think its firmware)\ni know nero does and has helped me in the past

Realistically, you just replace it. Like most consumer electronics these days, cd writers are disposable, i.e. would cost more to repair than to replace.  If you don't mind opening up your computer (turn it off first of course) it is suprisingly easy to loosen a couple of screws, slide the old unit out the front. There are a couple of cables, just plug them into the new unit the same way the old unit was plugged in. When you power up your computer the new drive will automatically be recognized. Finally, you might consider spending just a little more money to get a DVD burner (which will also burn CD's). Good luck.

A CD burner is hardware.......how the heck would you download it when it is something you have to install in your computor?\n\nNow if you want burning software then Nero to me is the best which you can get here\n\nhttp://www.online-cool.com/JR/software/nero?gclid=CO6ZyczS44gCFU5xFQodtGZ-og

Its not the computer, its the driver.\n\nLook on your CPU and see if you have a DVD driver. It should say DVD on it. If it just says CD-ROM then you cant burn DVDs.

DVD maybe faulty. Try burning on another DVD.. if nothing still works.. probab;y ur drive is faulty.

physically remove any other optical drives from your pc...if you only have one in there then that will have to be your default burner;)
