    I have always been able to burn dvds and cds, but now I can't burn any dvd media. BUT the cd media burns fine. I use nero and even tried cdburnerxp and it won't burn dvds. I get an 'error to write' message each time. I can read dvd media :confused: and cd media fine too. I also hear a noise like a buzzing and another sound when putting some old dvd copies in the burner (a sound like when u bunch up a new cd cover wrapper in ur hand, or just paper in ur hand).


    I uninstalled the drive and reinstalled it, checked inside that all the connections were fine, and checked my ide, just in case, to find if they were set to dma, and all are fine. I have already failed to burn 7 dvds, with only one (the 5 one) seeming like it would burn all the way, but then it just froze/stalled when it got to writing the lead out. If any one has any clue, any solid help would be very much appreciated.:) I got a lite-on ldw 851s burner by the way, and have tried 3 different media brands with no success - sony, memorex, tdk.

    I did all that tunered mentioned and I still have the same problem. I have unistalled nero and cdburn and unistallled the drive. reinstalled the firmware, and nero and it still is malfuntioning. Anyone else have a similar problem or some solid suggestions?
