I'm not even sure this goes here but I guess it might. I got a question about my pc burner:
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 and cd media fine for some reason though.
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 even unistalled the software and reinstalled the firmware, and it still can't function properly. I have already failed to burn 8 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.
Lastly, I just found a starforce install and uninstalled it manually, going throught the entire process that BOYcott starforce had listed on their site. I then repeated all the steps mentioned before and still nothing. So, it doesn't look like it's this that's the problem, but who knows.
