Had that problem with a burner. Ultimately had to send it to HP for a replacement burner.

If you have PC Doctor, you may want to run it and see if you get any error messages...

what burner program do you use?

one of my friends had that problem with nero a couple of months ago, i dunno if he managed to fix it

i use nero... and nero totally rocks

you can use the demo here

and uh... you can buy the cd key..

<snipped by mith: you know better than that>

look around for new firmware for either drive and maybe upgrade or install a new program to burn discs (like from nero to Alcohol 120%).

i was just using XP pro to burn

It works. If the CD drive won't burn, it's probably not Win.

Did you do a system restore to an earlier point?

i never use system restore. maybe ill try nero

I make restore points all the time. When something goes screwy, that's the problem half the time and you just roll unseen changes back...

Remember that's quite DIFFERENT than System *Recovery* (which should only be a last resort...)
