Well, I might just feel like reinstalling windows anyways. It could use a fresh install. AMD Athlon 64 3500+ socket 939 Antec 430True PSU 1GB OCZ PC3200 DDR RAM 2x120GB 7200PRM HD's SATA/RAID 0 250GB 7200RPM SATA PNY Nvidia 6800 128MB Lite-On DVD+-RW DL

Try running the windows repair module (I think that's what it's called...) first, it might be a driver problem or a corrupt file. AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 512MB RAM 120GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus/Seagate Barracuda 60GB HDD Nvidia GeForce FX 5700LE 256MB 16x DVD-ROM 42x CD-RW 16x External DVD RW

It sounds like you know what you are doing but you are using the correct dvd for the unit. dvd-r or dvd+r or both ? Or are you using dvd-rw? Have you ever been able to do anything with the unit? Have you visited the website for the unit to see if they have a forum for problems. One last program you might want to try is CBurnerXp Pro 3. Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 1.0.7 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 1.0.7

Again, I've done a windows repair, and that didn't help. These are the same DVD's/CD's that worked just 2-3 weeks ago. I'm currently using DVD-R's, but I've used DVD+R's and DVD+RW, along with CD-Rs and CD-RWs. The manufacturer's website is useless and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I'll have some time over the holidays to reinstall Windows.

Have you tried a System Restore to a date before the problem occured. Amazing what that can do.

I checked and I don't have any before that. AMD Athlon 64 3500+ socket 939 Antec 430True PSU 1GB OCZ PC3200 DDR RAM 2x120GB 7200PRM HD's SATA/RAID 0 250GB 7200RPM SATA PNY Nvidia 6800 128MB Lite-On DVD+-RW DL

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with some of the last updates from Microsoft. I have a new notebook and it used to burn just fine using Roxio 6. Now suddenly the DVD burner won't even recognize when I put in a new disc. I've purchased a new drive and it makes know difference. Just sits there clicking trying to accept the new disc. I've installed Nero 7 and it was no help. Even put in a new HD with W2K Pro and all the updates and same thing. I'm stumped.

I too have now encountered this problem which started on 26 December. Tried changing DVD brands and, yes, that worked except Memorex DVDs are such poor quality as to drag the subject matter instead of playing steadily. I can no longer use Sony blank DVDs. Might this be the true cause of our computer's not seeing the blank DVDs anymore : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/18/sony_copyright_infringement/

Call Sony's 1-800 on the side of their DVD cylinder of blanks only to be told they'd never heard of this problem. I informed the gentleman that I'm not the only one with this problem and would not be purchasing Sony's DVDs any longer due to this problem. Told him I'd purchase Imation as they work fine. The man pretended to care about this problem, but then once he started saying good-bye I asked him if he intended on informing anyone at Sony regarding this issue. He did not. I felt it an odd response myself but maybe Sony can afford to lose customers . . . I don't know.

Sean, I have the same problem with a LG DVD ROM. I guess it has nothing to do with the driver brand but with the Windows XP. In my case, the DVD ROM initiates the burning session, but it doesn't move on. I have ruined more than 30 discs, as the burner actually starts burning the discs. It had worked before, but it stopped after I clean some registries and useless files in my computer. In the same machine, I have a Windows 2000 version where I burn my dvds normally. I bet it's a bug too. Pls let me know what do to if you figure it out.
