Your disc may be full, or not writable. Try using Nero to erase it.

Make sure your firmware is current for your drive.

You can check it here.

Hello,
If updating your firmware doesnt help the burner may be going out.
How long have you had it?

Are you using a different brand of media then you have in the past?

hi, firmware is up to date.
i have had it about 2 years, but it still burns ok through nero ie; for mp3's or dvd video files!
it just does'nt work via the windows wizard?
thanks

Try removing your drive from windows setup and install again. Try to use the newest drivers.

would but can't find the driver on the web?
any idea; lite-on dvdrw ldw-851S?

dvd or cd burners don't use any special drivers, they just have a generic one from the OS, what they do need is FIRMWARE(tells them how to burn media).

here's the page for your burner
