hi,
my dvd rw has stopped working.
it can read cds/ dvds and it also burns them sometimes but i am unable to play them back on any machine or player.
I was using Nero or Nti and have recently installed dvd cloner 5 and record now delux but to no avail. Iam wondering if its hardware or a software problem.
i am using the same media and have also tried 3 others but have the same problem. my machine is only 2 months old but i would like to try and fix it myself.
anybody any ideas ! are there any drivers extra i may need, is there a diagnostic programe i could download.
any help appreiated
thanks

Hi parki3
Maybe a hardware problem - newer burner really shouldn't be giving problems so soon but post your last Nero log and we can take a peek.
You can find them here:
For Nero 6:
program files>ahead>nero>nero history

For Nero 7:
program files>nero>nero 7>core>nerohistory.

Just copy and paste the last one and remove the serial #. They usually begin w/ 1A, 1C or 5C.


You've also tried different software - what different media have you tried?
Anything else change pc since this started happening?
