Hello Gang, I have a Lite-On DVD+RW SHOW-822S installed in my computer and just recently has been experiencing some problems burning a data disk. It appears the drive can read the disks but when I try to burn a disk via Nero the disk "stalls" in the middle of the burning process, or fails and returns a error stating something is wrong with the device. I can hear the drive and it seems like it “stalls†and keeps spinning. I tried the drag and drop option for Windows XP and that too also failed.
To help fix the errors I have tried updating the drivers, re-seating the cables and even un-installing the DVD drive from the device manager still with no avail. I have tried to update the drives firmware but it involves burning an image, which I obviously can’t do.
Is there a diagnostic I can run or anything else someone might suggest to alleviate my problem, or is this drive finally coming to the end? I have had it for 2-3 years and use it frequently. If this is the case can anyone suggest a good drive, would I need a specific one for my MOBO or will anyone do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
