Some burning programs are linked to a specific brand name on the burner side and won't work otherwise.It may also be you have a now defective drive if the drive used to work fine with the burning program.The drive can still be fine for reading a cdrom but bad for burning a cdr.Is this a SCSI drive?If so make sure the chain is terminated and that the numbering is right.Good luck.
