There is either something wrong with your burner or its possible that the cd or dvd has copywrite stuff added to them so that you cant download it right. They do that to protect the copywrite material.

I suspect your burner is going bad. Best to take care of it while its still under warrenty. Most burners carry a 1 yr parts warrenty. It could also be simply a bad IDE cable. (That's the cable that connects the mainboard to the drive, used for communication.) \n\nIf its not one of those two - then two other possibilities are viruses which can cause the appearance of hardware failure - and harddrive (HD) problems which can give the appearance of all sorts of problems except the real culprit. \n\nChanging out the IDE cable is simple and fairly cheap (sub-$10) if you do it yourself. Testing your HD is easy and free - albiet time consuming - if you get the free utilities from your hard drive manufacturers website. \n\nAn online virus scan may or may not help you peg the problem if you have a virus. Run a anti-spyware/anti-adware utility while your at it for good measure. AVG is an awsome antivirus program available for free to home users (at their website, type free in the search box). Spy-bot and Ad-aware are two of the top three anti-spyware utilities, and are both available for download free. \n\nAfter that, your looking at needing to test a "known good" drive on your system, to see if its the burner or the computer itself. If its the burner, you should still be under warrenty. If its the system hardware, again, warrenty. However, if its software related, it may well be time for a reformat.

It's very likely you CD drive has worn out or broke down. I would get a new one, you can get them very cheap, even a DVD burner drive. Try TigerDirect.

what are you trying to burn - dvd's or cds??\n\nIf you are trying to burn dvd's check if there is a +/- conflict. DVD's can be either plus or minus and so can a DVD writer. Problem is a '+' writer wont write a '-' disk and vice versa.\n\nIf it is CDs that you are trying to burn try burning at a lower speed than the maximum or the current setting. Also check if there are any other programs running in the background which are interefering with the burn process.\n\nDo a disk cleanup and close other programs while burning to avopid conflicts.\n\nHope this helps!! :)

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

This is a laptop CD burner, people. It was configured correctly at the factory.  Anyway, either your drive is going bad (most likely), or possibly you just need to uninstall your CD burning software, and reinstall.  Of course, there's also Windows having problems, and needing to be reinstalled, especially if it doesn't have Windows XP.

re-install the burning software if there is no hardware problem with the drive.

There may be something up with the laser on your DVD drive, which would suggest a hardware fault perhaps.  Im not too sure about software stuff but there may be settings that are causing it to stop prematurely. Check that all your DVDs are clean and that the bay itself is fee from dust etc...

go to your dvd burners manufacturers web site and see if they have a patch to fix this problem, it happens alot and they usually they have a fix for it, if not contact their support team and let them know, and they will contact you with what info they have on the problem, good luck to you.

Make sure nothing is on the cd's and they are the right format. The format is all that makes the difference and a blank cd. maybe your laser or something needs cleaned off a little? I have a cd burner that has both cd r+ and cd r- so I dont have to worry about that. The is a cd with brushes on the from Maxell that I use to clean my heads on my lasers every month and dont have probs with em at all and I have had them from years.

maybe your CD burner is not working right also shutdown any other application while burning and make sure you "close" the disk right

Aint sure what you are trying to burn but I can tell you I have had many failures with bargain basement off brand blanks! I purchased a 50 pack of staples cds once and 30 percent of them failed the burn process. I finally quit being cheap and now buy only the top shelf cd and dvd blanks. Your money ahead in the end! It also depends on the media type. Some burners wont work with DVD+R while others will.CD-R and DVD-R seem to give best results.

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
