Default cd/dvd burning problem

Hi

My first post for help!!

I thought I was OK with PCs but this is driving me mad!

My dvd/cd drives used to work fine but recently they are not. The drivers ar
e telling me these are fine and the hardware check say they are working prop
erly but I am getting failed messages during the writing of the CD/DVDs or t
he programs can't even read the blank DVDs I am putting in the drive to copy
on. I have always used the same blank media and I am half way through this
bunch but the rest won't work now.

I have tried restoring the PC back a few weeks but this hasn't worked either
along with regmech and PC pistop but still no joy.

Anyone know what I can do or what has went wrong.
Any help at all would be great!!!

Cheers
Johnnyk

Hi johnnyk36!
Welcome to PC Helpforum!

Do you use specified software to burn your CD and DVD's?
Also, are you able to try the player in another PC?

Hi guys thanks for the replies!

I am using newly installed nero 6 that came with my new external drive ( that won't write either) so maybe it's that. I will uninstall this and install the older version that was working and see how I get on.

I don't have access to another PC to check the player out no. Not this week anyway but might soon!

As I say I will install the older version of nero and see if that works if not i'll let you know

Cheers again for your help.

Johnnyk

Oke yes good luck and let us know, you can eventually try to burn using the Windows built-in burning software, to see if Nero gives problems at all.
It works easy, like copying to a floppy, now copy it to the burner. Then go to the driver, and start setting the temporary files to the disc itself.

Hi guys

Just to let you know I have the writers working again but only after I took off all my nero software. It's working so I won't touch it again

Thanks again to the replies much appreciated indeed

Cheers
Johnnyk
