Any luck to get a reply????????
plz help me.... thanks!

Well there could be several reasons besides software why burning fails, that's a 3 yr old slimline combo burner, not very good when new

Your blanks may be bad

You don't have much ram

You might try burning slower with better media

Another test is try to boot the computer with a bootable cd or dvd, if that fails the drive may be bad

Even if that works I reccomend that people with laptops save their internal drives and use a good external for everyday use
