when burning DVDs or CDs, you need to have enough speed from your CPU and available memory to handle the data without interruption.\nturn off other programs, don't be doing IM, listening to music, downloading, etc etc etc while burning.\nmany times you can also adjust the burn speed.\nnormally a DVD is set to burn at it's fastest possible speed by default.\nMany times if you turn down the record speed a notch or 2, it will work.\nYou also have to have blank DVDs that are rated for the speed AND protocol that you are using.\nSome burners will take just about any blank, others want specific types, like DVD+ or DVD-.\nCheck your burner's documentation.

Do you have a new stack of DVD-R disks? Could be defective/old/left in the heat. Try a couple of different new disks and see if the problem goes away. If that doesn't fix it the DVD drive needs to be replaced. newegg for less then 50 including shipping.

you don't.. your DVD writing software takes care of that, and in most cases will insist that it is blank\nDVD/RW's will be erased prior to writing by the DVD burning software

yea, what you have is a so called Combo-Drive and they can not burn DVDs. If you don't want change this drive, then you have to get an external DVD ReWriter with a USB 2.0 interface.\n\nThe DVD Burner from Amazon you mentioned is the WRONG one (it's only for internal use). What you need is this one\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1544661&CatId=483\nbtw, at a nice price.

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

What model number is this burner? Are you sure that it is NOT a DVD-RAM?  Does the unit work, or are you having a problem with it burning? Did you install any drivers that might have come with the burner? Sometimes these are included on the burning software disc (NERO).

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.

You may want to check on Nero InfoTool and see if your LiteOn burner is recognized, if not, then there may be some issues on the burners compatibility with Nero. If it is recognized, then check your IDE cable connection with the motherboard and the Burner drive. Please approach this procedure with caution and to turn off your PC, and by unplugging it from the main line. Discharge static electricity from yourself by touching the metal casing of the PC and proceed with the cable check.\n~meow

Try using a lense cleaner. I had an HP cd-rw drive that did the same crap. It would never recognize a bured cd. Well, turns out, this particular CD Burner was made for HP by Samsung. I did a firmware and driver update, that helped alot. But I noticed that if the drive wasn't cleaned freaquently, it would not read burned cd's, or recognise blank ones. So first things, first, try just cleaning it.\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, I highly recomend replacing it!\nI've never had that great of luck with Samsung drives of any kind in a computer. \n\nI highly recomend drives made by LiteOn. They make a fantastic drives and they're very afordable.\n\nIf You want slightly better performance however, Toshiba makes a realy good drive as well. I highly recomend one of their DVD multi drives!\n\nFinaly, Pioneer! A little pricey, but not too bad. I've had a couple of their DVD rom drives. One thing I can say about the Pioneer drives is that they do much better with dirty and scratched Optical disks than most drives I've used. I don't know what their DVD burners cost now adays, but a strait up DVD-Rom shouldn't be more than 30 bucks!

There isn't a particular kind of internal connection between dvd burners.  They all use IDE.  So as long as it says "internal" on the box, it should work.

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.

try 1 click dvd copy.its easy and works great also do not have any backround programs running.this includes screensavers.etc.disable everything while burning.having programs running will interfere with the burning of your dvd

This could be caused by a number of reasons. First though I would try using a different program to burn the disk. I use Alcolhol 120% for burning images to DVDs.\n\nDownload a free trial here:\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Alcohol-120-/3000-2646_4-10510582.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nFor more information on DVD burning software visit http://www.cnet.com\n\nHope this Helps

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..

It is probably either misaligned or otherwise "hosed"...\n\nSince these drives are now inexpensive (around $30 or less) I would replace it either with another CDRW or, better yet, a DVDRW for about $50 or so!
