CD/DVD Burning problem?

My laptop will play CD/DVD but won't burn CD/DVD, (it's supposed to and used to). I've tried it using both Nero and Windows Media player. Any ideas what may be wrong?

    Hi,

    Yes it is most likely the cd/dvd has gone faulty.

    I have had the same problem myself.

    What error message or problem do you get?

    Just contact me for more help.

    Have you tried using both DVD-R and DVD+R cds?

    Could be a driver issue, worth checking and possibly rolling back to a previous driver version! Also double check the drive! could be faulty!

    More info required. What discs are you using? Are they detected by your drive? Are you getting any error messages? At what point does the burning process fail? Etc etc...
