Had that problem with a burner. Ultimately had to send it to HP for a replacement burner.

If you have PC Doctor, you may want to run it and see if you get any error messages...

[Mr. SmartyPants]

what burner program do you use?

[Sephiroth]

one of my friends had that problem with nero a couple of months ago, i dunno if he managed to fix it

[Mr. SmartyPants]

i use nero... and nero totally rocks

you can use the demo here

and uh... you can buy the cd key..

<snipped by mith: you know better than that>

look around for new firmware for either drive and maybe upgrade or install a new program to burn discs (like from nero to Alcohol 120%).

[Mr. Rogers]

i was just using XP pro to burn

It works. If the CD drive won't burn, it's probably not Win.

Did you do a system restore to an earlier point?

[Mr. Rogers]

i never use system restore. maybe ill try nero

I make restore points all the time. When something goes screwy, that's the problem half the time and you just roll unseen changes back...

Remember that's quite DIFFERENT than System *Recovery* (which should only be a last resort...)
